New York, wonder what we're here for
Not sure if you're still sure
That there's more to what we are
Brooklyn, half our hearts got broken
I'm holdin' on to hopin'
It's not over before it starts

We up three straight nights
Of our eyes wide open
Like we'd miss too much
If we ever close them
We can't call it love
When we don't know where we're goin'

I don't wanna get my hopes up, dear
'Cause the summer's gone and you're still not here
Is it too late to save it?
Prayin' we don't hit the pavement
And is the fire burnin' out too soon?
Did we jump without a parachute?
I'm still holdin' my breath, I'm watchin' my step
We're dancin' on the edge

Dancin', dancin', dancin', dancin' on the edge
Dancin', dancin', dancin', dancin' on the edge

Forests, missed calls every mornin'
Is it all for nothin'?
Tin-wheel car washes in June

I don't wanna get my hopes up, dear
'Cause the summer's gone and you're still not here
Is it too late to save it?
Prayin' we don't hit the pavement
And is the fire burnin' out too soon?
Did we jump without a parachute?
I'm still holdin' my breath, I'm watchin' my step
We're dancin' on the edge

Dancin', dancin', dancin'
dancin' on the edge (oh, dancin' on the edge)
Dancin', dancin', dancin', dancin' on the edge

Slippin' through my fingers, is it the end?
Were we just a moment, gone with the wind?
Tell me, will I see you, see you again, see you again?
The leaves are turnin' yellow, where have you been?
I've been spinnin' out since the second you left
Tell me, will I see you, see you again, see you again?

Dancin', dancin', dancin', dancin' on the edge
Dancin', dancin', dancin', dancin' on the edge

I don't wanna get my hopes up, dear
'Cause the summer's gone and you're still not here
Is it too late to save it?
Prayin' we don't hit the pavement
And is the fire burnin' out too soon?
Did we jump without a parachute?
I'm still holdin' my breath, I'm watchin' my step
We're dancin' on the edge
