Jesse Quin - The Starting Line lyrics

[Verse 1] This town was our lovers' stage But now you can't recognise The streetlights that are daggers to your eyes You can't find your bearings You're slipping into the ground The scene has no colour and no sound Do you still believe in me After the things I've done? Do 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've got to get underway [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 2] Each heart is a paper kite Blown around by the breeze Love won't rest 'til 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 [Chorus 2] 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 and not be found Let's take the back way into town And drink to the bad times Lay them down on me [Verse 3] Girl, I still believe in you You're too good to fall so low We're gonna find a better life, I know Things will be clearer And soon as we make a start We'll be that much nearer We're too old to just stand here Waiting to break apart [Chorus 1] 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
