Start Over Lyrics

Start Over

Copyright 2014, David Seger

Sometimes I want to run away

Pack up this Chevrolet

And drive until I hit the coast

Throw my guitar in the ocean

Along with every single song I ever wrote

Let them sink down slow and start over

But this damn dream won't let me go

It's like it's hooked into my soul

And I'm a puppet on a string

Every breath I take I sing

Without music I couldn't say anything

So when one song ends I start over

I pick up my pen and dig into my heart until the pages bleed red

Pull out every smile and every last tear inside of my head

And when there's nothing left of me but but flesh and bone

I start over

She's been right here by my side

Through this whole crazy ride

All the ups and downs and in betweens

A hand to hold when life gets mean

Sweetest pair of hazel eyes I've ever seen

She's the reason I can start over

So I pick up my pen and dig into my heart until the pages bleed red

Pull out every smile and every last tear inside of my head

And when there's nothing left of me but but flesh and bone

I start over

Even though quitting crosses my mind sometimes

I know there's always another song to write

So I pick up my pen and dig into my heart until the pages bleed red

Pull out every smile and every last tear inside of my head

And when there's nothing left of me but but flesh and bone

That's when I go back and dig for more

I start all over

Always starting over
