Matthias - Starting Over lyrics

[Verse 1] The first page of an empty notebook Like the first stage of my open playbook Makin' out like I didn't care, didn't get me anywhere Took me nowhere, I'm broken and bare I'm tired of doing the dirty work Working for that little life lesson But I'm guessing no one ever taught me this lesson Take what you deserve and quit, quit asking for permission The only question you'll be asked at the top is "Where you been? What'd you take, a pit stop?" Forget it, I'mma do me from now on Stop tripping out about all this doubt, yeah, and where I belong They say, "Dream big, bigger than ever before" But if I keep dreaming, time will keep flying through that door They say, "Pick something, something you can steer towards" But it's got to be something worth aiming for So I shoot for the moon, hoping to land in the stars But I'm constantly being blocked by Venus and Mars So I just sit back, see if it's in the cards Waiting to play my lonely queen of hearts [Chorus] I think it's time to start over And set the record straight This time when I start over I won't hesitate [Verse 2] I thought this pa**ion was something that's supposed to last ya But if I don't use it, I promise I'll go stagnant I'm tired of people asking why I'm missing in action I was supposed to be this big main attraction But kept making excuses like I was distracted Lacked enthusiasm or financial backing But the truth is, procrastination is the lag time Between thought and action I'm consumed with being better, better than I was yesterday But that's a tricky game, because yesterday's a different day And I don't look to the past, 'cause when I do I'm suddenly aware Of all the time that's lapsed, I've wasted all that time looking back And now I'm two halves split between the future and the past Never present, just obsessing over every task Stuck in this endless looping soundtrack There's no reset bu*ton on my back [Chorus] I think it's time to start over And set the record straight This time when I start over I won't hesitate [Bridge] So let's just drink a little tonight Enough to make this right Saying, "Next time" "Next time" So pour me just a little more And I'll forget what I should ignore Saying, "There's no pretending anymore" [Chorus] I think it's time to start over And set the record straight This time when I start over I won't hesitate
