About This Track

'Edge' by HAIM is a 2013 track from 'Days Are Gone (Digital Deluxe Edition)'. The lyrics centre on a restless, self-protective kind of hurt, with the speaker repeating that they “couldn’t let it go”, even as hope fades and memories begin to feel overgrown. There is a sense of motion without resolution, a refusal to stop running because letting go would mean admitting it has already ended. The tone sits somewhere between stubborn devotion and weary acceptance, rendered through tight, propulsive lines.

"Edge" is a track by HAIM, from the album Days Are Gone (Digital Deluxe Edition), released 27th September 2013. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about HAIM.

Lyrics

Edge

[Verse 1: Danielle]

I was always running, always hurt

But I couldn't let it go, it was too hard to get going

And I kept hoping that you would run first

I couldn't let it go, you were too good to know

[Pre-Chorus: Danielle]

When you were my own, the memories hold

They're overgrown

But now I know there's no climbing over

Because I know you'll never see me through

[Chorus: Danielle]

But I can feel my heart racing down on me

Feeling like the sun setting on the sea

It's getting to the edge of what could be

But I can't fight it off, but I can't fight it off

[Verse 2: Danielle]

Oh, you know you could've had it all

But you wore me like your crown

And it seemed your favorite thing to do

Was to keep me in the dark and turned around

You can say I'm crazy for giving up

You can wave your sayings like a flag

You can wave it high over your head

You can sing your song to bring me down

[Pre-Chorus: Danielle]

When you were my own, the memories hold

Now they're overgrown

Moments of the past have dimmed too much

To bring us back

[Chorus: Danielle]

But I can feel my heart racing down on me

Feeling like the sun setting on the sea

It's getting to the edge of what could be

And I can't fight it off, no, I can't fight it off

But I can feel my heart racing down on me

Feeling like the sun setting on the sea

It's getting to the edge of what could be

But I can't fight it off, but I can't fight it off

[Bridge: Este & Danielle]

No, I can't, no, I can't fight it off

No, I can't, no, I can't fight it off

No, I can't, no, I can't fight it off (Over and over)

No, I can't, no, I can't fight it off (Over and over)

No, I can't, no, I can't fight it off

No, I can't, no, I can't fight it off

No, I can't, no, I can't fight it off (Over and over)

No, I can't, no, I can't fight it off (Over and over)

[Chorus: Danielle]

But I can feel my heart racing down on me

Feeling like the sun setting on the sea

It's getting to the edge of what could be

But I can't fight it off, I can't fight it off

[Outro: Danielle, All]

Edge of what could be

Edge of what could be

Edge of what could be

Over and over, over and over

Edge of what could be

Edge of what could be

Edge of what could be

Over and over, over and over
