Verse 1:

When worry lines surround my frown
So hard to shift them
Strategies are not mine to iron them out
My mind drifts to those golden times we laughed together
What I'd give to share our cheesy jokes!

Chorus:

Stuck out here on the EDGE OF NOWHERE
Wish I wasn't alone
There's no fun to be found
This house is no home

Bridge:

And when our opinions weren't the same, we clashed
"I miss those rows!" I remark to the cat
No response, of course!
"How sad is that?!"

Verse 2 (a melody variation):

I'll not be staying here myself
My basic plan is:
Find new place
Far away
Meet new crowd
Start again

Verse 3 (melody as Verse 1):

The evening sun is sinking fast
The moon is rising
And I know I'll not sleep again tonight
I need someone to sympathize
I'm isolated
Feel cut off from the rest of the world

Repeat Chorus:

Stuck out here on the EDGE OF NOWHERE
Wish I wasn't alone
There's no fun to be found
This house is no home

Repeat Verse 1:

When worry lines surround my frown
So hard to shift them
Strategies are not mine to iron them out
My mind drifts to those golden times we laughed together
What I'd give to share our cheesy jokes!

Repeat Chorus:

Stuck out here on the EDGE OF NOWHERE
Wish I wasn't alone
There's no fun to be found
This house is no home

Repeat Bridge:

And when our opinions weren't the same, we clashed
"I miss those rows!" I remark to the cat
No response, of course!
"How sad is that?!"

Repeat Verse 2:

I'll not be staying here myself
My basic plan is:
Find new place
Far away
Meet new crowd
Start again

Instrumental outro (intro/link variation)
