Before It's Over

A awkward girl with her guitar, keeping to herself
 Friday nights alone, with the records on her shelf
 A waitress pouring ginger-ale and coke
 Someone you ask out as a joke
 I've been that girl who fades away, accepting what I've got
 Stuck in what I am, and everything I'm not
 I've only seen this tiny world I'm in,
 Where I can only be what I've been.
 See a world, beautiful and strange
 Spinning off somewhere, saying "meet me there"
 Look, look how fast it runs away
 Singing "follow close and reach for me"
 See that you've got so much more to be
 Before it's over, Before it's over
 I can't go write another song I'm too afraid to play
 Or dream how things can change but only see what's in my way
 I can't go back to what I was before
 Now that I can see so much more
 See a world beautiful and strange
 On a one way track and it won't come back
 Look, look how fast it runs away
 Singing "follow close and reach for me"
 See that you've got so much more to be
 Before it's over
 I never even knew a world was waiting
 Somehow something awful made that world appear
 Maybe this sounds crazy but I'm happy that it happened
 Happy that I came, happy that I'm here
 I can see a world beautiful and strange
 Can you see it too?
 It's so close don't let it get away
 There's so much to do
 Before it's over
