On the Cusp of Something Greater

Back at home lazing like a bum Like the doctor told me to do A broken record sings its stilted tune Never getting onto something new Wonder what it's going to be like When I'm back on my feet again On the cusp of something greater now And I feel like I could use a friend Holding onto life The way it used to be Make it so I gotta let go So won't you be a friend of mine? Now she's heading to another place So far away I couldn't hope to go Do I take her with me when I've got Nowhere to call my own? On the cusp of something greater now Something bigger than I've ever known Life's not turning out the way I planned And I'm scared I'm gonna be alone Don't let me let this go I'm not ready to advance Baby, cling to me though I cannot see How we're gonna make it out alive I'm doping up with TV and games To escape the grim reality I wish I could get up and run Somewhere that's nice and clear to see I wanna stare out at the setting sun Sinking down beneath the waves of trees On the cusp of something greater now It's a lie that I may believe It's almost time to go And never look on back Won't you take my hand, baby it'd be grand If you'd always stay a friend of mine
