Nutshell Folk - 2023 Remaster

I was once a boy
I was all wrapped in innocence
Thinking I could be anything and I would
My life had taken a few turns but I just couldn't see
Any of these things for what they were

So I found I way I could escape and I just took the chance
Hoping that one day I'd feel alright
But the further that I fell
The more I felt I lived in hell
And I just couldn't feel any kind of light

Oh the way we push on each other
To the limit
To the edge of the night
Oh the way we push on each other
For the laugh for the soul for the life
It doesn't always have to be

So then I was a man who on my own feet couldn't stand
I'd tossed everything worth while in my life
I tossed it all away thinking better alone that I should stay
How dark the lost can be before they are found

Oh the way we push on each other
To the limit
To the edge of the knife
The way we push on each other
For the laugh for the love or the fight
It doesn't have to be

So if you're listening to this song
Perhaps you'd like to sing along
Or maybe these are some feelings that you've felt
But there's lots of stories I could share
Or laughs that I could tell
Or maybe there's some way that I could help

The way we push on each other
To the limit
To the edge of the knife
Oh the way we push on each other
For the laugh for the love or the life

Oh the way we push on each other
For the laugh for the love or the life
Yeah but we can lean on each other
