Starting Line

Starting Line
This town was a lovers stage, but now you can't recognise
The street lights 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.

You still believe in me, after the things I've done,
You fear for what we have become.
The ground is uneven, we stumble from day to day
You tread where it's easy, I know your feet are like lead
but you've gotta get on your way.
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
But love wont rest till 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 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
Drink to the bad times and 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
