Edelweiss

(Music by Tom Levin. Lyrics by Tom Levin & Cole Ruth)

Put my baggage on a one way ride
20 hours trapped in flight
Need to get my feet back on the ground
In the middle of a messed-up life
I know this girl can make it right
Need to get my feet back on the ground
I need to get my feet back on the ground
Back down

I got Edelweiss, I’ve got a pair of dice
And all the luck I need
I got a diamond ring, Oh I can give her everything
Everything she needs
Can’t she see, that it’s me

Touchdown in a foreign land
Drenched in dust and sinking sand
Need to clear my head before I drown
Early morning in a hotel bed
She says babe it’s in your head
You need to get your feet back on the ground
You need to get your feet back on the ground
Back down

You got Edelweiss, you’ve got a pair of dice
And all the luck you need
You got a diamond ring, but you can’t give me everything
Not everything I need
Can’t you see, It’s not me

Just because you think the time’s not right
Doesn’t mean that we are wrong
You better think my offer through tonight
Before I fly away

I got Edelweiss, I’ve got a pair of dice
And all the luck I need
I got a diamond ring, Oh I can give her everything
Everything she needs
Can’t she see, that it’s me, can’t she see
