Sometimes its easier to go out than to stay home and lay on your couch, because when you stay home and lay on your couch and drink chamomile tea, you have to face the facts. That there are people in this world that you cannot have, but that you still want. That even though your want is selective, when you do select to want that person it feels like you have wanted them forever and will want them forever. Therein lies the difficulty. And this song I’m about to play for you is about just that, its about saying ‘I cannot back up what I feel twenty-four hours a day, but right now you are the only thing I need.’ That’s what I call riding the edge, surfing the edge as I do with my life, constantly surfing the edge of desire.
