[Verse]
So this is what you meant when you said that you were spent?
And now it s time to build from the bottom of the pit right to the top,
Don t hold back
Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain check
[Pre-Chorus]
I don t ever want to let you down
I don t ever want to leave this town
Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night...
[Chorus]
It s time to begin, isn t it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then,
I ll admit, I m just the same as I was
Now don t you understand
That I m never changing who I am?
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
So this is where you fell, and I am left to sell
the path that heaven runs through miles of clouded hell,
right to the top
Don t look back
Turning to rags and give the commodities a rain check
[Pre-Chorus]
I don t ever want to let you down
I don t ever want to leave this town
Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night...
[Chorus]
It s time to begin, isn t it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then,
I ll admit, I m just the same as I was
Now don t you understand
That I m never changing who I am?
It s time to begin, isn t it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then,
I ll admit, I m just the same as I was
Now don t you understand
That I m never changing who I am?
[Bridge]
This road never looked so lonely,
This house doesn t burn down slowly,
to ashes, to ashes...
[Chorus]
It s time to begin, isn t it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then,
I ll admit, I m just the same as I was
Now don t you understand
That I m never changing who I am?
It s time to begin, isn t it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then,
I ll admit, I m just the same as I was
Now don t you understand
That I m never changing who I am?
