Take the Edge Off

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
