The Starting Line

This town was a lovers' stage
 But now you can't recognise
 The streetlights that are daggers to your eyes
 
 You can't find your bearings
 You're slipping into the ground
 The scene has no color and no sound
 
 Do you still believe in me
 After the things I've done?
 Do you fear for what we have become?
 The ground is uneven
 We stumble from day to day
 But shelter where it's easy
 I know your feet are like lead, but you've gotta get underway
 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
 Love won't rest 'til 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 that 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
 But let's take the back way into town
 And drink to the bad times
 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
 As 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
