lyrics

I’ve been searching for a thread
To pick up and move ahead
But it all just looks like such a mess
There’s way too much to repair
And the whole thing’s up in the air
It’s a total write-off more or less

Some may say that it’s such a waste
To forget the past like it’s been erased
When so much great experience was gained
But where would our nostalgia be
Without selective memory?
Sifting out the pleasure from the pain

Start again
Turn another page
There’s a better chapter waiting to unfold
Start again
There’s nothing here to save
All the things that really matter
You know they will be coming anyway

Way too many pieces at my feet
That make the picture incomplete
Full of holes that never could be filled
It’s taken years for me to doubt
That I could ever work it out
But now I know it’s not the way

I’ve been searching for a thread
To pick up and move ahead
But it all just looks like such a mess
There’s way too much to repair
And the whole thing’s up in the air
It’s a total write-off more or less

Start again
Turn another page
There’s a better chapter waiting to unfold
Start again
There’s nothing here to save
All the things that really matter
You know they will be coming anyway
