Stepping Stone (HS) Lyrics

Take me back, Watch others I will
to where I was. My life remains still
Meaning I lack, Paralyzed by loneliness
like a cheap buzz. and its mind numbing chill.

Life was fine, A life guard I spot,
way back then, I rush to say "Hi".
before 1979. Life saving I think not,
I was content then. For my next word is "bye".

I'm not meant Too cool to be saved,
to be here. too scared to swim.
It's evident, The life I so craved,
it's all too clear. Is gone in a whim.

I'm reaching out, Caught in-between,
yet no one sees. Fitting in I've seen,
Ignoring my pout among people who aren't scared
and my sad pleas. to have someone on which to lean

I try to reach out, I had a friend.
but I'm too weak, My heart I did lend,
but I'm not about But he fell away,
to jump in the creek. To keep up with the trend.

I'd be stuck, Sucks to be a clone,
with no preserver, but worse to be alone.
out of luck, The second I am,
I'll be an observer. Being his Stepping Stone.
