Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You and me should be alone
Tonight, yeah baby
Tonight, yeah baby
I got a reason that you're
Who should take me home tonight
I need a man that thinks
Tonight, yeah baby
Tonight, yeah baby
Right on the limits
Where we know we both belong tonight
It's hot to feel the rush
To brush the dangerous
I'm gonna run right to
To the edge with you
Where we can both fall far in love
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment of truth
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge, the edge, the edge
The edge, the edge, the edge, the edge
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, on the edge with you
Another shot before
We kiss the other side
Tonight, yeah baby
Tonight, yeah baby
I'm on the edge of something final
We call life tonight
(Alright, alright)
Put on your shades
'Cause I'll be dancing in the flames
Tonight, yeah baby
Tonight, yeah baby
It isn't hell if everybody knows my name
Tonight
(Alright, alright)
It's hot to feel the rush
To brush the dangerous
I'm gonna run right to
To the edge with you
Where we can both fall far in love
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment of truth
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge, the edge, the edge
The edge, the edge, the edge, the edge
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment of truth
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge, the edge, the edge
The edge, the edge, the edge, the edge
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you
(With you, with you, with you, with you)
I'm on the edge with you
(With you, with you, with you, with you)
I'm on the edge with you
(With you, with you, with you, with you)
I'm on the edge with you
(With you, with you, with you, with you)
I'm on the edge with you

Line by Line Meaning
There ain't no reason
There is no logical explanation
You and me should be alone
We should spend time together
Tonight, yeah baby
Tonight is the perfect time for us
I got a reason that you're
I have a reason for wanting you
Who should take me home tonight
Who should accompany me tonight
I need a man that thinks
I want a man who knows
It's right when it's so wrong
It's correct even though it's incorrect
Right on the limits
At the edge of our limits
Where we know we both belong tonight
Where we know we are meant to be tonight
It's hot to feel the rush
It's thrilling to experience the rush
To brush the dangerous
To embrace the danger
I'm gonna run right to
I want to run straight towards
To the edge with you
To the brink of risk and excitement with you
Where we can both fall far in love
Where we can both deeply fall in love
I'm on the edge of glory
I am at the pinnacle of greatness
And I'm hanging on a moment of truth
And I am waiting for a critical moment
Another shot before
One more drink before
We kiss the other side
We cross over to the other side
I'm on the edge of something final
I am standing on the brink of an ending
We call life tonight
That we refer to as life tonight
Put on your shades
Wear your sunglasses
Cause I'll be dancing in the flames
Because I am going to dance in the fire
It isn't hell if everybody knows my name
If everyone knows who I am, then it can't be hell
I'm on the edge, the edge, the edge
I am on the brink, the brink, the brink
And I'm hanging on a moment with you
And I am waiting for a crucial moment with you
With you, with you, with you, with you
With you, with you, with you, with you
I'm on the edge with you
I am on the edge with you
