The Doorstep

I grew up away from all their tears. As easy living takes its toll. The listener only knows what he hears. So how was I supposed to grow? I learned how to love a little soon. Before I'd been taught how to fall. No one seems to notice what's in tune. If they themselves are not at all. I've been Waiting for today. Knowing I must jump somehow. If you smile at me, I'll know what to say. And I'm standing on the edge right now. I turned round to stare at what I'd left. And I stood quiet and still. What it was behind me I could guess. But I never had the will. And a timid girl, she might have led the Way. And all my expectations climbed. And shamefully I told her I would stay. Though I was trembling Inside. I'll show you what I've found. You've got what I've Lost. Fall with me, laugh with me, change with me. I've lost my way, but it's Okay. Angels sing to me, I bow and pray. I'm on the doorstep of your mind. Oh God, I'm backpedaling I Say. But your current, it's got time. I've been Waiting for today. Knowing I must jump somehow. If you smile at me, I'll know what to say. And I'm standing on the edge right now. I'm standing on the edge right now.
