I see the pain in their eyes
I see no tears but I can
Feel them, why do they pretend not to be hurt?
Lost everything they worked for
Slipped right out of their hands
They keep pretending
They keep on smiling
But I feel it too
The aching in their hearts
The loss of what they loved
Why don't they talk about it and tell each other how they feel? [x2]
Why do they fight about it, hurt each other, it's all they have left
Why don't they talk about it, tell each other how they feel?
Left it all behind, lost everything again
Will they get another change?
Are they strong enough to start over
Once more?
I see the pain in their eyes
I see no tears but I can
Feel them, too much responsibilitiy
To give up now they'll start from scratch and work their way back up
They feel they have to [x2]
Left it all behind, lost everything again
They'll take another change
Somehow they'll find the strength to start over
Once more
I think it's a cold cold world
And I think we need to heat it
Light it up like gasoline
When a match is thrown down in it
So go ahead and light a match
A passionate heart is needed
Throw a torch up in the sky
We need someone to lead it
It only takes a little spark
To get a fire goin'
I know the fire is in your heart
So go ahead and show it
Go, light it up
Start a fire
Burn, let it burn
Even higher
Like a city on a hill
We can light up the horizon
For miles and miles and miles
You can see the smoke is risin'
So go ahead and light the sky
Light a bon fire in the night
Let the fire keep burnin' higher
It can never be too bright
It only takes a little spark
To get a fire going
I know the fire is in your heart
So go ahead and show it
Go, light it up
Start a fire
Burn, let it burn
Even higher
Light it up, light it up
Light it up, light it up
Go, light it up
Start a fire
Burn, let it burn
Higher and higher
Go, light it up
Start a fire
Burn, let it burn
little red riding hood was in good with the food
distribution
by her own volition choosing
to sincerely deliver to old folks: succor, also vigor,
cheese and crackers, salt and coffee,
medicine to help the heart beat solftly
awfully kind in her mission red was yes, in a head-on
collision
with the forces of trouble: long in the tooth plus
stubble...
and this goes double
for all little girls, know who wolves are,
don't be telling them where you're going, how far
in what direction it is, especially if
it's the ungaurded cottage where grama lives
this is just common sense (with which little red
dispensed)
hence she proceeded on her way
through the woods to grama's place.
little red riding hood rolled up,
took one look and was like what the um
what the heck?
grama got a hairy neck?
teeth enough to get wrecked?
next up, wood axe swinging
that's how it happened, that's all I'm singing.
that's the story (that ain't how it happened)
i won't start over if you don't stop yapping
(shhhh)
wolves got it hard on this earth,
ever the subjects of defamation and mirth,
first in line to be out there, lurking,
eyeing ingenues and smirking,
working on a master plan,
trying to get fed about the best he can,
wondering if grama got much meat,
endeavoring not to be indiscrete:
"how many them baskets she go through a month?
how does she react when she misses lunch?
and what direction was she living in again ?
well, you better hurry up and visit her then."
but wolves are speedier than little girls.
barely pausing to devour jackrabbits and squirrels,
the wolf arrived.
all the rest, despicable lies.
all that talk of assumed identity,
let it be, this wolf was indelibly
wolf-like, forthright too.
he said "grama, here's what I'll do:
swallow you whole, your kinfolk for after,
then I'll keep living, so you don't have to.
sorry: starving wolf. no choice.
to get in the gullet, just follow my voice."
that's the story (that ain't how it happened)
i won't start over if you don't stop yapping
(shhhhhhh)
all right, grama was hanging alone,
cultivating the medicine for the glaucoma.
she paid rent in the forest, it was inexpensive
(grama's house was in the intensively wolf-rife section
of town.
she didn't mind, she liked a wild hound).
sound at the door: an intruder.
"is that you, red? you brought food for
me to eat" "nope, the opposite.
no hard candy, so soft chocolate.
just a wolf belly for you to inhabit
and I'm going to need your nightshirt for the next
gambit"
clandestinely reclining in bed,
the wolf awaits (for red!)
expecting their usual banter:
"how's school?" "fine, grama,
here's food." "thanks dear."
instead it's all: "what's up with the ears?"
eyes nose throat teeth
"little red riding hood, why you giving me grief?
bodies change as the years advance
soft features grow unkind to the glance
and hairs sprout
all of it the better for you getting in my mouth!"
"wow, it's dark in here," says grama.
here comes the wood axe, swinging like "yeah, y'all!"
old woman, come on back out
and lock up your door when you're lying around.
that's the story (that ain't how it happened)
I know we're late but I need a few more minutes
To sign these papers and make sense of all this
And all I thought I could control
Looks like rain coming down on it's own
Baby, what do you want, I don't even know
'Cause I got no more fight left but I can't let go
Now I know it won't stop, that's not how it works
So let come what will and let's start over, I'm ready to go
So nothing worked out quite how we thought
Taught you how to risk so much
On your holy knees help me pick up these pieces
And put a patchwork family back together again
Baby, what do you want, I don't even know
'Cause I got no more fight left but I can't let go
Now I know it won't stop, that's not how it works
There's a scar going straight through my heart,
through my flesh and blood
and it's eating me up
and all the deadweight I carry around
just to pick at you
it's all that I've got
and I don't wanna get over you
'cause what's there to go over to?
kinda like being blue when you're calling..
Don't ever let her know
if you're fallin' in love
'cause when you're on your own
you're all you've got
Just like the space of an empty room
it's nothing but space to you
to me it's a void
and I don't wanna get over you
'cause what's there to go over to?
kinda like being blue when you're calling..
I wanna go where the strange ones go
know what the strange ones know
turn the lights down low
and if I loose you
once and for all
would I take the fall?
What if I let it go?
No, I don't wanna get over you
'cause what's there to go over to?
no, I don't wanna get over you
'cause what's there to go over to?
Kinda like being blue
What a mess our lives turned out to be
It was at its best when you and I were only 3
We can start with all the things that turn us out
And we can go right down the list and throw them out
Can we start over?
It's over
Here you are and there's where you wanna be
But don't think you don't have company
Think of all the lonely people in the world
And if it's God who made us why we so damn cruel
We can never lie
And you can never steal the time
And we can only watch them die
The impossible is possible
But your fear is so responsible for keeping you down, keeping you down.
Your unreachable is reachable
But you'll never grab
The wonderful
with your feet on the ground, your feet on the ground
Bridge:
If you fall on your face
Don't just leave it to fate
No such thing as too late
It's not too late
Chorus:
To start over, start over, start over
Start over, start over, start over
You never have what you want to lose
So pick it up, up, up
Dust off your shoes
Start over, start over, start over
Start over, start over, start over
You've gotta find, find, find the other side,
So give it one, one, one more try.
Start over
You only fail
If you never try
You'll never live
Tryin' not to die.
I'm telling you now, I'm telling you now.
Don't ever stop,
Give all you've got
Don't hesitate, to take a shot
It all comes around, it all comes around.
Bridge
Chorus
There's so much, so much left to gain
There's so much, so much to lose
You'll never know until know until you make a move.
Bridge
Chorus
Start over, start over, start over
Start over, start over, start over
Wherever you are look at the stars tonight
Whatever you do don't forget to shine
The second you feel like you don't know what's real
And you're running to stand still
You know you can stand still and let me reach you in time
Where do we go?
Where do we go to now?
A place where I know that our lives can start over, start over
Don't let the light go out
Where do we go? (Start over, start over, start over)
Everyone knows tomorrow's another day, the sun will rise
But everyone knows it won't be the same
The rain may fall, but the weight of it all could never break us
No matter where this will take us
I won't let it fade
Where do we go?
Where do we go to now?
A place where I know that our lives can start over, start over
Don't let the light go out
We're not alone
We're not alone tonight
With the world in our arms we start over, start over, start over
How can I be so sure we're only a breath away?
Here in a world where everything changes
Only a breath, only a breath away
Wherever you are, look at the stars
Where do we go?
Where do we go to now?
A place where I know that our lives can start over, start over
Don't let the light go out
We're not alone (We're not alone)
We're not alone tonight (We're not alone)
With the world in our arms we start over, start over, start over
We're not alone tonight
Meet Angie, she got the heart of an angel
But is running low on self-esteem
Her family was her ma and her grandma
Soon to be a constant theme
Now Adam became a part of a pattern
That he'll probably never understand
Just added another home that got broken
To this No-Man's-Land
Think about it
Just cause your papa wasn't there
Don't give you the right to do the same
To pack your thins and disappear
Think about it
You're trying to act like you don't care
Telling youself you're not to blame
Just to regret it through the years
[Chorus:]
When it feels lika a cycle that you just can't break
It seems we don't learn from the mistakes we make
You look at the pieces that you can't mend
Start over, it ain't over, start all over again
Start over, it ain't over, you got to start all over again
Now Lukas always got an excuse
And can't live up to what he should achieve
He uses and takes advantage of his woman
Not even trying to succeed
And Susan wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth
Keeps moving through hard work and dedication
Never had to do without
Think about it
You can't save every man who needs you
Cause you been down and out before
You deserve so much more than that
Think about it
So busy trying to keep it true
That you're neglecting what is yours
Just take your time you'll find your match
What would you do if he said to keep up your chin girl?
Would you change your mind and go back behind these times
I'd wish you'd want to
What do you think we should do now we're alone here?
Please don't change your mind, in hope to stop, maybe try to start again here
Start over, it's all over, you're trying to tell me I'm not right
Start over, it's all over, cause freedom here, well it's a lie, it's a lie
So tell me what do you think, when we say that you are easy?
Baby, take your time and gather up your stuttered words and tell me I'm right
Start over, it's all over, you're trying to tell me I'm not right
Start over, it's all over, cause freedom here, well it's a lie, it's a lie
We should, start over, it's all over, you're trying to tell me I'm not right
This is the day we open your eyes
This world tries to keep us in chains
Telling us what’s right and what’s wrong
Well ain’t nobody gonna teach you, yeah
I’m on a mission to respond
I’m gonna tear this system apart
Design a new path for a soul
Where we can follow our hearts
No one should hold us down (No one should hold us down)
Let every single breath help to set us free, to shut
down the system, start over
And even if the world seems to disagree just shut down
the system, start over
Let every step that we take be an experiment in faith
Because the greatest risk in life is to take no risk at
No one should hold us down (No one should hold us down)
Let every single breath help to set us free, to shut
down the system, start over
And even if the world seems to disagree just shut down
the system, start over
Over, Over, Over, Over
Don’t let society tell you that your goals ain’t right
That you’re
Cause we all got something to give
Everybody’s different
Give em hell, Give em hell, Give em hell
No one should hold us down (No one should hold us down)
Let every single breath help to set us free, start over
Let every single breath help to set us free, to shut
down the system, start over
And even if the world seems to disagree just shut down
the system, start over
Let every single breath help to set us free, just shut
I can hear half-remembered lies
allusions to our history
you can't hide anymore
are you dissatisfied
with my second person songs
wishing for a girl to strike a match
and start a fire
start a fire
start a fire
start a fire in my heart
have mercy baby
start a fire
start a fire
start a fire
you're the one
and I used to be the place for you to run.
a sideways glance a fantasy I cling to.
I whisper to you while you sleep.
the mirrored lens the sun against your skin
and all the stupid stories that I spin.
may lightening strike and ...
start a fire
start a fire
start a fire in my heart
will you wait for me to
start a fire
start a fire
start a fire
you're the one
I will always be the place for you to run.
we crash on heaven's floor
a chain of generations in decay
as I hold this pose I try to concentrate
one thing at a time
broken by the outburst of a kiss
oh, perfection calls so
start a fire
yeah and let it go
a hidden world we never know where everything is new
I will wait for you to
start a fire
and make it grow in ways you will never know
well baby you're the one
I will always be the place for you to run
start a fire
start a fire
I remember when you said your father's asleep*
I remember swimming as our clothes drifted off to sea.
So wake up, wake up dreaming,
And lie here with me,
So wake up, wake up dreaming,
And lie here with me.
Here we go,
Just lose control and let your body give in,
To the beat,
Of your heart as my hand touches your skin,
Is this love
Just sexual desire,
We're gonna start a fire!
I remember drinking as the stars were falling,
I remember dancing on the hotel's unmade bed.
So wake up, wake up dreaming,
And lie here with me,
So wake up, wake up dreaming,
And lie here with me.
Here we go,
Just lose control and let your body give in,
To the beat,
Of your heart as my hand touches your skin,
Is this love
Just sexual desire,
We're gonna start a fire!
Here we go,
Just lose control and let your body give in,
To the beat,
Of your heart as my hand touches your skin,
Is this love
Just sexual desire,
We're gonna start a fire!
Taking chances in the back of your car,
We burn and on my radio is "Rockin' in a Free World,
S.O.S.
So obsessed,
Oh you make me such a mess,
Why can't this just last forever, why, why, why?
So wake up, wake up dreaming,
And lie here with me,
So wake up, wake up dreaming,
And lie here with me.
Here we go,
Just lose control and let your body give in,
To the beat,
Of your heart as my hand touches your skin,
Is this love
Just sexual desire,
We're gonna start a fire!
We're gonna start a fire!
We're gonna start a fire!
We're gonna start a fire!
We're gonna start a fire!
Here we go,
Just lose control and let your body give in,
To the beat,
Of your heart as my hand touches your skin,
Is this love
Just sexual desire,
We're gonna start a fire!
We're gonna start a fire!
We're gonna start a fire!
We're gonna start a fire!
We're gonna start a fire!
Oh once in a while we all fall,
We take what we can if there's nothing at all
I am the girl that you used to know
I am the star of your favorite show
Couldn't you
Let me walk away
Given me a chance to get ahead of this game
It was all up to us, now there's no one to blame
Just let me start over again
And I'll be okay
There's a place in my heart that could hurt you
But then you'd know I care
And if I ever had the nerve to desert you
Would you still be here
Couldn't you
Let me walk away
Given me a chance to get ahead of this game
It was all up to us, now there's no one to blame
Just let me start over again
And I'll be okay
They say nothing in life is a failure
You'll win some and you'll lose
I gave it all I had to give,
I could have given it all to you, to you
Couldn't you
Let me walk away
Given me a chance to get ahead of this game
It was all up to us, now there's no one to blame
Just let me start over again
Waiting for something to start
i never thought life could tear me apart this way
it's just a phase that i'm going through
i've done it all and it's all that i can do
you say you could save the world for me
i knew i'd ruin it all too easy
so easy, can't please me
don't leave me here alone
just let me start again 'cause it feels like a nightmare to me
and im waking to this amazing end
if it's the only way i see
you can say it's just a broken dream
you can pretend you know how much it means
to fight for something and lose it all
to realize that you're up against a wall
tell me what i need to hear my dear
i'll be alright and everything will begin to clear
at least it can't get any worse
if i could fight long enough i could break this
but again i slip and fall
losing what i can't replace
i can't answer when you call
if only just to say some things
i don't know what i was doing before
but i just can't take this bullshit anymore
someone's keeping score
just let me start again 'cause it feels like a nightmare to me
and im waking to this amazing end
if its the only way i see
just let me start again 'cause it feels like a nightmare to me
and im waking to this amazing end
Start a fire in me,
Let the flames run free,
Burn away the dross,
Holy fire of God. (repeat)
Let it begin, let it be new,
Let me be used for Your sake,
Bringing glory to Your Name.
I can live knowing that You
Reside in my heart.
Oh Lord, You are the fire,
You know I'm not one to jump to conclusions
But I feel like this is goodbye for the last time
Every way that I view this
The arrows all point to the scene of the last crime
and I can't breathe
These words I cannot say are choking me tonight
and I don't know how I'm supposed to make this right
Do you care that i'm alive?
When morning comes
Will we start over
or will we spend this night alone
This tie's been tied and we're moving on
I finally realize that you're gone for good
Do you care at all that I'm a wreck?
...without you here
When morning comes
Will we start over
or will we spend this night alone
only time will tell
If we will make it
Here comes the "click" and dial tone
This phone call goes, it goes to show
Just how far apart we've grown
and we both know...
That I'm not one to jump to conclusions
but I feel like this is goodbye for the last time
When morning comes
Will we start over
or will we spend this night alone
Only time will tell
If we will make it
Time’s gone by, I’m getting older
Never thought I’d be alone
These late nights are getting colder
With only memories to hold
These empty moments
They have changed me
Just take a moment
Let me show you what was missing in me
So it’s you I wanna hold
Even though it’s me that let you go
If you can find a way this time
For us to start over
Hear me out
Let me say what I’ve gotta say
Cause I won’t let you get away
If we can find a way this time
For us to start over
There are certain things about you
I won’t let myself forget
And all this time I’ve spent without you
Has got me living in regret
These empty moments
They have changed me
Just take a moment
Let me show you what was missing in me
So it’s you I wanna hold
Even though it’s me that let you go
If you can find a way this time
For us to start over
Hear me out
Let me say what I’ve gotta say
Cause I won’t let you get away
If we can find a way this time
For us to start over
You are the one who got away
Letting go was a mistake
And I need a second chance
To show you I am not the same
And I’m dying to let you know
So it’s you I wanna hold
Even though it’s me that let you go
If we can find a way this time
For us to start over
So it’s you I wanna hold
Even though it’s me that let you go
If you can find a way this time
For us to start over
Hear me out
Let me say what I’ve gotta say
Cause I won’t let you get away
If we can find a way this time
Ooo! (Ooo!)

Should you lose your way
Should you chase the wind
If you find yourself
Coming to your end
Chorus:
It's never too late to start over
Verse 2:
Should you lose your way
Should you chase the wind
Don't you fear, cause I am here
For once in my life
Something now feel's right
For once i made a choice
For once i raised my voice
I'm gone for good
What's said is done
I'm out of here
You're the last thing on my mind
We're running out of time
Yet to reach the starting line
In the end
Will we be friends
Once again
We used to be so tight
Stay up drinking all night
Watch the sun come up
Neither of us gave a fuck
I'm gone for good
What's said is done
I'm out of here
Get up, head feels like a cannonball
Walk straight and your legs only let you fall
In a room where you spent most of the night
Jump in and sink like a diver
To the bottom where you know that you'll find her
In a room where you spent most of the night
And I want you
And I want you
Shoes on, head feels like a cannonball
Closed door, closed mind, you got nowhere to hide
On a street where you spend most of your life
Jump in and sink like a diver
To the bottom, where you know that you'll find her
In a room where you spent most of the night
And I want you
So come on over
And I want you
And all we've got is this fire
Fire
How do we always end up hurt
Fire
Fire
Get up, head feels like a cannonball
Walk straight and your legs only let you fall
In a room where you spent most of your life
Fire
All we've got is this fire
Fire
How do we always end up hurt
Fire
Fire
And I want you
So come on over
And I want you
And I want you
So come on over
And I want you
All we've got is this fire
Fire
How do we always end up hurt
Fire
Fire
