The Starting Line

Keane

This town was a lovers stage

But now you can’t recognize

The streetlights that are daggers to your eyes

You can't find your bearings

Your slipping into the ground

The scene has no color and no sound

You still believe in me

After the things I’ve done

You fear for what we have become

The ground is uneven

You stumble from day to day

You tread where its easy

Although your feet are like lead

And you 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 till 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 but now your found

Let’s take the back way into town

Drink to the bad times

Lay them down on me

Girl I still believe in you

Your too good to fall so low

Were gonna find a better life I know

Things will be clearer

As soon as we make a start

Well be that much nearer

Were 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
