Start Again

Verse 1

Seven years at the first door

Knocked me down

Seven more at the second

Watched me drown

Third time I got the letter

Didn't feel a thing

Thirty-five winters in this cage

Packed up everything

Pre-Chorus

These streets keep pulling me under

Same faces same grey thunder

Chorus

I'm breaking out of this concrete grave

Let the past become a distant wave

One last look at the ghost I've been

Then I burn it all and start again

Post-Chorus

Start again

Start again

Verse 2

She said maybe in another life

Maybe somewhere else

Dating here is drowning slow

In the same hotel

Small town dreams are funeral songs

Played on repeat

I need air that doesn't taste

Like dead-end streets

Pre-Chorus

These walls are closing in closer

I need to be a stranger

Chorus

I'm breaking out of this concrete grave

Let the past become a distant wave

One last look at the ghost I've been

Then I burn it all and start again

Bridge

Throw the keys into the river

Let the water take the weight

Feel the engine humming freedom

Watch the city shrink to grey

No more compass no more tether

Just the road and open sky

Thirty-five years was long enough

To learn how not to die

Guitar Solo

Chorus

I'm breaking out of this concrete grave

Let the past become a distant wave

One last look at the ghost I've been

Then I burn it all and start again

Post-Chorus

Start again

Start again
