The edge of glory
Walk Off the Earth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got a reason that you
Who should take me home tonight
I need a man that thinks it's right when it's all wrong tonight
Yeah baby, tonight, yeah baby
Right on the limb is where we know
We both belong tonight
It's hard 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
Out 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
I'm on the edge of glory
And I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm 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 hard 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
Out 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 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
Out 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

The best thing about this group is that even after as many songs as they do, they still show that they absolutely love it.

Growth is originally thinking Roomie's vocals didn't fit when he went more grungey, but coming back later to find the dynamic was actually spot on.

I must say, Roomie is quite an impressive singer. You all really did make this song your own, so much so that I prefer it to the original.

Freddy Wertz Music

Such a collab between two countries is awesome. This shows that music has no frontier.
