Back at the Start

There's secrets I don't tell

Ever to myself, I just keep moving

It's like working on a building with my eyes closed

Nothing's improving

Day after day, I stood in my own way

In front of my own door

Some things push you 'round so far

Knock you down so hard

It's hard to get up anymore

But here is the thing that I've known from the start

It don't mean a thing if you can't feel your heart

You might lose everything, spend years in the dark, but

It isn't the end, you're just back at the start

Oh, these endless skies of blue

Baby, it's just you and all the umpires

Hoping nobody will notice

That you don't know what you're doing

Still, you're getting tired

It's lonely in the outfield

But the ball won't come to you, so you're safe for now

So you won't get to play, but that's okay

Because you prayed to just get rained out

Here is the thing that I've known from the start

It don't mean a thing if you can't feel your heart

You might lose everything, spend years in the dark

But it isn't the end, you're just back at the start

Maybe it was all a dream

But the lights are coming up, and the rehearsal is over

Maybe nothing's as it seems

The ground is moving all the time

Just like you're drunk, but you're sober

Day after day, you feel you let it slip away

But it was never very far

Don't wanna stand on ground that's shaking

But the earth is always quaking

Making buildings and tearing them apart

Here is the thing that I've known from the start

It don't mean a thing if you can't feel your heart

You might lose everything, spend years in the dark

But it isn't the end, you're just back at the start

Back at the start

Back at the start

Back at the start
