I get home and it’s already dark Kick my shoes off leave them in the hall It’s been freezing in this house since the day that you flew south Now I’m shivering just trying to sweat you out As cliché as it seems, I’m strung out on a dream It’s taking all my strength to keep me clean Take the edge off, take the edge off I just need a little taste to get me through the night Take the edge off, take the edge off Lord knows what I’d give away to feel you one more time I know by now for certain for you’ve moved on Maybe you were someone else’s all along Slippin’ off your dress, lay your head against his chest While I’m left here in the arms of my regret The ceiling spins and shakes and still I cannot escape There’s only one thing that can dull this pain Take the edge off, take the edge off I just need a little taste to get me through the night Take the edge off, take the edge off Lord knows what I’d give away to feel you one more time I’m passing days watching cars The Sun goes down, their headlights flicker on Then in the dark, counting stars I wish upon
