Ann Marie Nacchio - Edge of Yesterday

Last survivors, clinging to a frosted tree
Fiery rivals, holding on for brevity
Kinda made me think of how it used to be
Almost free
I couldn't contain all the poetry inside my heart
When I was young and life was just about to start
But the hammer never fell, the needle never dropped
And I can't tell if I'm on the bottom or the top
Did my dreams come true, or am I staring at a ghost?
Did they change into something new, or hop a train for the coast?
On the edge of something great
So I'll just hurry up and wait
Waiting anxiously for more than just a taste
And sink my teeth into life
I'm so tired of fighting that fight
Trying everything but nothing seems to turn out right
Tried doing nothing, and nothing's fine with me
If working hard paid off, I'd be right where I want to be
On the edge of something great
So I'll just hurry up and wait
For the moment where it all falls into place
And I'm soaring through the sky
On the edge of yesterday
Getting closer with each step I take
But did I get here a little too late?
Did my chances come and go?
So I'll just sit here with all my self-doubt
And convince myself I've figured it out
There's so many things I've learned to do without
That I don't want them anymore
Do I miss days of fire and nights of ice?
Living on no man's good advice
If I lived again, I'd maybe think twice
Just to have the dream, is it worth its sacrifice?
