Lyrics

We used to say
There'd come the day
We'd all be making songs
Or finding better words
These ideas never lasted long
The way is up
Along the road
The air is growing thin
Too many friends who tried
Blown off this mountain with the wind
Meet on the ledge
We're gonna meet on the ledge
When my time is up
I'm gonna see all of my friends
Meet on the ledge
We're gonna meet on the ledge
If you really mean it
It all comes around again
And now I see
I'm all alone
But that's the only way to be
You'll have your chance again
Then you can do the work for me
Meet on the ledge
We're gonna meet on the ledge
When my time is up
I'm gonna see all of my friends
Meet on the ledge
We're gonna meet on the ledge
If you really mean it
It all comes around again
Meet on the ledge
We're gonna meet on the ledge
When my time is up
I'm gonna see all of my friends
Meet on the ledge
We're gonna meet on the ledge
If you really mean it
It all comes around again
