Dancing on the Edge

(Now Playing: "The Balcony Scene" -- Pierce the Veil)

My favorite part:
Have you ever really danced on the edge?
Is something still scaring you?
Have you ever really danced on the edge?
The count of three is up
Have you ever really danced on the edge?
All right, then tell me so
Have you ever really danced on the edge?
Just hold my hand and jump

When I first heard this song, I just thought of it as a beautiful Romeo and Juliet reference.  But the more I listen to it, the more I am sure that it can be about any of us, whether we're falling in love (or out of love) with someone, facing life after college, or even stepping into a relationship with God.

It's asking, are we ready to jump into a scary, uncertain, beautiful new beginning?  Will we stop letting our fear get in the way of the trust we need to develop, the risks we need to take, the experiences we need to have?

...do we dare disturb the universe?
