On The Verge Of Something Wonderful

I heard this on Sonshine FM the other day, and it struck me as a unique song. It's written by Darren Hayes, who has started out in his solo career after leaving Savage Garden:

A serpent, a rabbit
A walk in the forest
A tentative looking sun
A feeling, a moment
A bursting of bubbles
A panic to overcome

A samurai, an angel
An eloquent table
An AC that does not work
A road trip, a car wreck
A paperback novel
A lover who ain’t been hurt

When you let me go, now I’m on my way
When the world below, is cold and grey
On the verge of, on the verge of something wonderful
A resurgence, on the edge of something wonderful

For it, against it
Said he’d never meant it, but Harry still dropped the bomb
A trip to the dentist, the Hollywood black list
A moment that time forgot

When you let me go, now I’m on my way
When the world below, is cold and grey
On the verge of, on the verge of, something wonderful
At the edge of, on the verge of, something wonderful

You can dance in the devil’s shoes, you like walking in heels
There’s a decent living to be made in the selling out of ideals
You can lose your way in the big city
Get distracted and lost and feel pretty, Ooh, Ooh …

I want you, I need you
I don’t wanna please you, or belong to anyone
But life is for leading, for not people pleasing
A race that has never been won

When you let me go, when I’m on my way
When the world below, is cold and grey
On the verge of, on the verge of something wonderful
At the edge of, on the verge of something wonderful
On the verge of, on the verge of something wonderful
A resurgence, on the edge of something wonderful
