Lyrics The Classic Crime

The Classic Crime

The Precipice

I wish I could play the violin

I’d play ‘til tears rolled 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 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

I wish I could play piano well

I’d hit the keys that make 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
