Starting Over

from 25 by Mission Man

/

lyrics

Chorus: We all have to start over sometime, somewhere. Once there, how do we know where to go?

Today another friend has moved on
And it makes me think about all who've gone
Some I haven't heard from since
One or two I should have kissed
Some I've forgotten and some I really miss
The most recent
Left for good reason
She's going out to experience life
And it's turned today into a serious night
And I'm alone, cleaning my apartment
Wondering what's going to start next
Because this is another beginning
And I'm listening
To the future, but my ear sight's a little cloudy
Fear might make me drowsy
This clear night shapes the town we
Found each other in
And I'm wondering
As I stare at the silhouette
If it's too early to hit the pillow yet
But I won't give into the gravity
Of depravity
I will gladly see
That I have to be
Going forward
Until those no more words
Then I can just feel
What I know is real

chorus:

I've moved on many times myself
And seen the struggle in someone else
They wish me luck, but hate saying goodbye
Could I
Be the good guy
By leaving my friends
Not knowing if I'd see them again
Was I being selfish
With my well wish
I had to follow my heart and dreams
And they both got ripped apart at the seems
I couldn't see through the gleam
Reflecting off my tears
Rejecting all the fears
And expecting all the years
Ahead of me
To be the best I'd see
As the future filled with my present with hope
I wonder how those in my past will cope
Leaving without a rope
Or a safety net
It made me sweat
But it had not made me crazy yet
Because I was too excited
To hide it
I had to try it
I had to take the leap
That would make me weap
Whether tears of joy, or tears of sorrow
I couldn't know until tomorrow
Had become yesterday
So I could feel blessed today
Until my friend went away
While I get to stay
And start over again
As I go for the win
I know that I'll spin
The wheel of fate many more times
As I feel the weight send towards mine
So I breathe deep
And try to keep
My balance
Knowing that it shall hinge
On more than a stripped rusted screw
Building upon what I knew
And overcoming what I don't
I won't
Stop starting
To matter how hard things
Seem to be
My tears will always reflect the gleam in me

chorus:
