Peter Bjorn and John
On the Brink
[Verse 1]
On the brink of my eternity
A well I almost fall into
I've been thinking 'bout what's called destiny
And the things you never do

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been trying hard
Yes, I've been trying hard
I've been trying hard
To do them too

[Verse 2]
Like the things you never told me then
Did you try too hard to please?
Did you ask yourself, "What if and when?"
Did it fly off in the breeze?

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been trying hard
Yes, I've been trying hard
I've been trying hard
To catch those dreams

[Chorus]
These things
Matters more than we know
And these dreams
Sends us to the stars
And this life
Is the only one
And your luck
Is my guide
[Verse 3]
In the hour of our confession
In the times we fear the most
We get judged beyond dimension
For our silly little faults

[Pre-Chorus]
But I've been trying hard
Yes, I've been trying hard
I've been trying hard
To make it right

[Chorus]
These things
Matters more than we know
And these dreams
Sends us to the stars
And this life
Is the only one
And your luck
Is my guide

[Verse 4]
We all carry guilt and burdens
So our backs get crooked and bent
And we rarely never mention
The forgiveness heaven-sent
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been trying hard
Yes, I've been trying hard
I've been trying hard
To let it in

[Chorus]
I've been trying hard
Yes, I've been trying hard
I've been trying hard
To let it in
Let it in
Let it in
