The Starting Line |
This town was our lovers' stage |
But now you can’t recognise |
The streetlights that are daggers to your eyes |
You can’t find your bearings |
You’re slipping into the ground |
The scene has no colour and no sound |
Do you still believe in me |
After the things I’ve done? |
Do you fear for what we have become? |
The ground is uneven |
We stumble from day to day |
But shelter where it’s easy |
I know your feet are like lead |
But you’ve got to get underway |
Drag your heart up to the starting line |
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time |
It’s too easy to get left behind |
I know you’ve been kicked around |
But tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me |
Each heart is a paper kite |
Blown around by the breeze |
Love won’t rest 'til it brings you to your knees |
Some find it easy |
Some will never even know |
You think you’ve done your journey |
Then you stumble and find |
That there’s such a long way to go |
Drag your heart up to the starting line |
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time |
It’s too easy to get left behind |
I know you’ve been kicked around |
You wanna be lost and not be found |
Let’s take the back way into town |
And drink to the bad times |
Lay them down on me |
Girl, I still believe in you |
You’re too good to fall so low |
We’re gonna find a better life, I know |
Things will be clearer |
And soon as we make a start |
We’ll be that much nearer |
We’re too old to just stand here |
Waiting to break apart |
Drag your heart up to the starting line |
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time |
It’s too easy to get left behind |
I know you’ve been kicked around |
But tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me |
On me, on me |
