I'd rather stand on the edge of a cliff
|
hang my toes over a bit
|
and then jump when they dare me
|
even if it scares me
|
and I get hurt
|
I'd rather build my wings on the way down
|
do my best not to fall to the ground
|
and then laugh at my mistakes
|
cause they're only lessons I'll learn
|
|
I'd rather burn with desire
|
deep in my soul
|
and love like a fire that's
|
out of control
|
and laugh
|
and dance
|
and fall
|
and chance
|
and kiss
|
I'd rather live my whole life
|
with a sense of abandon
|
squeeze every drop out
|
no matter what happens
|
and not wonder what I missed
|
I'd rather
|
Risk
|
Oh I just can't resist the chance to
|
Risk
|
|
Well I guess I could just play it safe
|
and forget about love hope and faith
|
with my eye on the shoreline
|
keeping my boat tied
|
and stayin' home
|
But I'll never discover new land
|
by keeping my feet on the sand
|
No I'd rather set sail
|
And get carried away by the storm
|
|
[Chorus]
|
