Lyrics

Hunter

[Verse 1]

No one said

We'd ever known each other

And new evidence is what we require

In this world

[Pre-Chorus]

I stand on the edge of a broken sky

And I'm broken down, don't know why

[Chorus]

And if I should fall, would you hold me?

Would you pass me by?

Oh, you know I'd ask you for nothin'

Just to wait for a while

[Verse 2]

So confused

My thoughts are takin' over

Unwanted horizons place me instead

Won't let go

[Pre-Chorus]

I stand on the edge of a broken sky

And I will come down, don't know why

[Chorus]

And if I should fall, would you hold me?

Would you pass me by?

Oh, you know I'd ask you for nothin'

Just to wait for a while
