Lyrics Start a Band - Peabod, Aaron Gillespie

Start a Band

Sick of lookin' through a window at the things I’ve wanted\nNose against the glass been so long it’s like I’m haunted\n(By something inside of me that’s aching to run)\nBut I get\n(Caught up when I try to see where it could go wrong)\nCaffeinated out of my mind tryna stay awake\nMaybe it’s a sign of the times or maybe I’m too late\n(But something reaches through the glass in the mirror)\nI feel it\n(Call me with familiar melodies in my ear)\nI used to know the words to that song\nI used to sing it 'til my voice was raw\nI thought it vanished into thin air\nAre you still there?\nWake up\nDon’t you ignore that feeling in your gut it’s not\nMade up\nThat’s just your starving artist screaming you’ve got\nToo much to gain\nTo never give it a chance\nRisk the pain\nMake the whole world understand\nWhat happens when you start a band\nIt’s always risky doing anything that matters\nIf I say what I mean what if it’s met with laughter\n(Walking on a wire is a thrill or a fright)\nSo I been\n(Cropping out the liars til the image is right)\nIf Imma do this I’m gon' need something to ground me\nProtect my energy and keep my people 'round me\n(Poetry is hope and freedom walking with doubt)\nSo I’ll keep\nSinging at the night 'til the stars come out\nI used to know the words to that song\nI used to sing it 'til my voice was raw\nI thought it vanished into thin air\nAre you still there?\nWake up\nDon’t you ignore that feeling in your gut it’s not\nMade up\nThat’s just your starving artist screaming you’ve got\nToo much to gain\nTo never give it a chance\nRisk the pain\nMake the whole world understand\nWhat happens when you start a band\nWindows buzz and the whole house shakes\nWith that song I used to know\nIt’s in my lungs, it’s written on my face\nAnd it feels like going home\nWake up\nDon’t you ignore that feeling in your gut it’s not\nMade up\nThat’s just your starving artist screaming you’ve got\nToo much to gain\nTo never give it a chance\nRisk the pain\nMake the whole world understand\nWhat happens when you start a band\nStart a band\nWhat happens when you start a band
