This town was a lover's stage but now you can't recognize
The street lights that are daggers to your eyes
You can't find your barings, 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, stumble from day to day
Unsure it easy, I know your feet are like lead, but you gotta got underway
Drag your heart up to the starting line
Forget the ghosts that make you old before you 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 cut 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
--unsure-- begun their 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 you time
It's too 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
Drink till the bad times lay them 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 you 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
The street lights that are daggers to your eyes
You can't find your barings, 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, stumble from day to day
Unsure it easy, I know your feet are like lead, but you gotta got underway
Drag your heart up to the starting line
Forget the ghosts that make you old before you 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 cut 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
--unsure-- begun their 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 you time
It's too easy to get left behind

Drag your heart up to the starting line
Forget the ghosts that make you old before you 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
