The Starting Line
Keane
Letra

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, you're 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, we stumble from day to day
But shelter where it's easy, I know your feet are like lead
But you gotta get on the way

Drag your heart up to the starting line
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
It's to 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 to easy to get left behind
I know you've been kicked around
You wanna be lost and not be found
Let's take the back way into town
And drink to the bad times
Lay then down on me

Girl, I still I 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 to 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
