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 you're 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 we stumble from day to day
But shelter where it's easy
I know your feet are like lead but you've gotta get on the way.
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 and not be found
But let's take the back way into town
And drink to the bad times lay them down on me.
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 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 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
