lyrics

I’m still chasing cars, playing in the undertow, barking at the stars, wondering where you are. Better that I’ll never know. I still play with fire, hoping that I might get burned, toying with desire, teasing to the wire, thinking that I’ll never learn. Some things I earn, some things I steal. There’s an angel on my shoulder, but the devil’s got the wheel. I toe the line, but then I fall, ’cause heaven knows I like the taste of danger most of all. / Standing on a ledge, don’t you know I want to jump. Not that I would give my desire to live, I just wanna try it once. I just wanna know what it is to make the leap, how the wind would blow, how fast I could go, who would pray my soul to keep. Some things I earn, some things I steal... / It all comes down to this: There’s a million souls out there, dying for a wish, longing for a kiss, searching for someone to care. On any given day, you can hear their songs and cries, kneeling down to pray, wishing they could say they had never compromised. Some things I earn... / Some things I steal, most things I earn. The angel’s getting older, but the devil never learns. I toe the line, but then I fall, ’cause heaven knows I like the taste of danger most of all.
