Take the Edge Off - Ron Pope

I get home and it’s already dark

Kick my shoes off, leave them in the hall

It’s been freezing in this house

Since the day that you flew south

Now I’m shivering, just tryna switch you out

As cliche as it seems

I’m strung out on a dream

It’s taking all my strength

To keep me clean

Take the edge off

Take the edge off

I just need a little taste

To get me through the night

Take the edge off

Take the edge off

Lord knows what I’d give away

To feel you one more time

I know by now for certain you moved on

Maybe you were someone else’s all along

Slipping off your dress

Lean your head against his chest

While I’m left here in the arms of my regret

The ceiling, it spins and shakes

And still I cannot escape

There’s only one thing that can dull this pain

And take the edge off

Take the edge off

I just need a little taste

To get me through the night

Take the edge off

Take the edge off

Lord knows what I’d give away

To feel you one more time

I’m passing days watching cars

The sun goes down, the headlights flicker on

Then in the dark counting stars and wishing upon

Take the edge off

Take the edge off

I just need a little taste

To get me through the night

Take the edge off

Take the edge off

Lord knows what I’d give away

To feel you one more time
