on top of the tallest building
the air's gotten thinner
and heaven's gotten farther.
keeping my eye on the horizon line
when i think i should be looking for
some stars.
there's people on the ground below
and i'm standing on the edge
standing, stuck here in between --
you and i
and the things i'm dying
to tell you.
A blink of an eye
Is a lifetime gone by.
She took you by surprise
An angel, my angel in disguise.
But perhaps I wasted some time
Thinking about what I'd do
At the end of this dual-victim crime.
And as the moments begin to count down
So many tears I can't let her see
I'm beginning to think I will drown.
my life
is no life
without you.
Because what are you supposed to do
When a lifetime for her
Is just a moment for you.
