Begin At The End

 
Begin At The End              

So you drift on home
with a hushed hello
hiding behind a lost smile
holding back on all you know

You bring home the dark
to all this time apart
you walk in a stranger
a wall round that summer heart

This silence is deafening
begging me to move on

Begin at the end
start over again
this clock’s stopped turning
no time to pretend - 
stuck in the middle
just waiting for when
now’s a one-way ticket
begin at the end

I’m too tired to fight
for some hopeless cause
need a home wherever I go
no more chasing down corridors

This dead air is thickening
begging me to move on

Begin at the end
start over again
this clock’s stopped turning
no time to pretend - 
stuck in the middle
just waiting for when
now’s a one-way ticket
begin at the end

I’d rather do anything
than this TV sitcom show
when you gotta go, you know
you gotta go

Begin at the end
start over again
this clock’s stopped turning
no time to pretend - 
stuck in the middle
just waiting for when
now’s a one-way ticket
begin at the end
