Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were burnin' on the edge of somethin' beautiful
Somethin' beautiful
Sellin' a dream
Smoke and mirrors keep us waitin' on a miracle
On a miracle
Say, go through the darkest of days
Heaven's a heartbreak away
Never let you go, never let me down
Oh, it's been a hell of a ride
Driving the edge of a knife
Never let you go, never let me down
Don't you give up, nah, nah, nah
I won't give up, nah, nah, nah
Let me love you
Let me love you
Don't you give up, nah, nah, nah
I won't give up, nah, nah, nah
Let me love you
Let me love you
(Oh, baby, baby)
Don't fall asleep
At the wheel, we've got a million miles ahead of us
Miles ahead of us
All that we need
Is a rude awakening to know we're good enough (yeah)
Know we're good enough
Say, go through the darkest of days
Heaven's a heartbreak away
Never let you go, never let me down
Oh, it's been a hell of a ride
Driving the edge of a knife
Never let you go, never let me down
Don't you give up, nah, nah, nah
I won't give up, nah, nah, nah
Let me love you
Let me love you
Don't you give up, nah, nah, nah

I used to believe
I previously had faith in something
We were burnin' on the edge of somethin' beautiful
We were close to achieving something amazing
Somethin' beautiful
Something amazing that we were working towards
Sellin' a dream
Promoting a hopeful idea
Smoke and mirrors keep us waitin' on a miracle
Deceptive tactics cause us to wait for something unlikely to happen
On a miracle
Hoping for something unlikely to happen

Endure the most challenging of times
Heaven's a heartbreak away
Success is close yet vulnerable to failure
Never let you go, never let me down
We will always support each other through difficult times
Oh, it's been a hell of a ride
The journey has been difficult
Driving the edge of a knife
Living dangerously
Don't you give up, nah, nah, nah
