The Edge of Me

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Drop

What I know

What I don't

Verse 1

Grandpa kept a ledger in the barn

Every row of corn he ever grew

Wrote the rain he guessed and missed the mark

Left the empty lines he couldn't fill

Said the honest part is what you leave undone

Pre-Chorus

So I count what I can hold

Then I count what slips away

Chorus

To know what you know

And know what you don't

That's the whole of it

That's the whole of it

To hold what you hold

And let the rest go

That's the whole of it

That's the whole of it

Drop

What I know

What I don't

Verse 2

Mama read the almanac at dawn

Marked the frost she trusted and she feared

Told me son the smartest thing you own

Is the space between the facts you keep

And the questions that you never learned to close

Pre-Chorus

So I plant a little doubt

Watch it grow into a field

Chorus

To know what you know

And know what you don't

That's the whole of it

That's the whole of it

To hold what you hold

And let the rest go

That's the whole of it

That's the whole of it

Bridge

I know the river bends

I don't know where it ends

I know the season turns

I don't know what it earns

Knowing the edge of me

Is the truest thing I see

Chorus

To know what you know

And know what you don't

That's the whole of it

That's the whole of it

To hold what you hold

And let the rest go

That's the whole of it

That's the whole of it

Drop

What I know

What I don't

What I know

What I don't
