The Precipice Lyrics - Phoenix - The Classic Crime

I wish I could play the violin 

I'd play 'til tears roll down your cheek and chin 

And if you sang along 

We could write the saddest song 

Sometimes I indulge my every whim 

And piece by piece I build the cell i'm in 

But I only stay here long 

Enough to write the saddest song 

I dreamt I stood on a hill 

That I wisedh was a mountain 

To look back on all my accomplishments 

Well they must have been small 

'Cause I couldn't seem to find them 

So I took a leap off of the precipice 

I wish I could play piano well 

I'd hit the keys that made your spirit swell 

And if you sang along 

We could write the saddest song 

I dreamt I stood on a hill 

That I wished was a mountain 

To look back on all my accomplishments 

Well they must have been small 

Because I couldn't seem to find them 

So I took a leap off of the precipice 

Whatever the cost, whether it works out or not 

Whatever the cost, whether it works out or not 

I'll follow you, I'll follow you 

I'll follow you with my heart 

Whatever the cost, whether it works out or not 

Whatever the cost, whether it works out or not 

I'll follow you, I'll follow you 

I'll follow you with my heart 

I dreamt I stood on a hill 

That I wished was a mountain 

To look back on all my accomplishments 

Well they must have been small 

Because I couldn't seem to find them 

So I took a leap off of the precipice
