Lyrics
0:02The Starting Line
0:03Keane
0:14This town was a lovers stage
0:16But now you can't recognize
0:20The streetlights that are daggers to your eyes
0:27You can't find your bearings
0:29Your slipping into the ground
0:33The scene has no color and no sound
0:40You still believe in me
0:42After the things I've done
0:46You fear for what we have become
0:53The ground is uneven
0:55You stumble from day to day
0:58You tread where its easy
1:02Although your feet are like lead
1:04And you gotta get underway
1:06Drag your heart up to the starting line
1:12Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
1:20It's too easy to get left behind
1:25I know you've been kicked around
1:28But tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me
1:46Each heart is a paper kite blown around by the breeze
1:52Love won't rest till it brings you to your knees
1:58Some find it easy some will never even know
2:05You think you've done your journey
2:11Then you stumble and find that there's such a long way to go
2:15Drag your heart up to the starting line
2:19Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
2:25It's too easy to get left behind
2:31I know you've been kicked around
2:34You wanna be lost but now your found
2:38Let's take the back way into town
2:41Drink to the bad times
2:42Lay them down on me
2:44Girl I still believe in you
3:02Your too good to fall so low
3:04Were gonna find a better life I know
3:07Things will be clearer
3:14As soon as we make a start
3:17Well be that much nearer
3:21Were too old to just stand here waiting to break apart
3:25Drag your heart up to the starting line
3:31Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
3:38It's too easy to get left behind
3:43I know you've been kicked around
3:46But tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me
3:53On me on me
The Starting Line Keane 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 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 You stumble from day to day You tread where its easy Although your feet are like lead And you gotta get underway 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 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 too easy to get left behind I know you've been kicked around You wanna be lost but now your found Let's take the back way into town Drink to the bad times Lay them down on me Girl I still believe in you Your too good to fall so low Were gonna find a better life I know Things will be clearer As soon as we make a start Well be that much nearer Were 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 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
