Start Again - Jake Morley

Around this time I made a big discovery

All the little test tubes shattered in my laboratory

Yeh I’ve got a laboratory

That here I am and now’s the time to

Start again

Have you seen me lately?

I’ve been the one with the eyes that stare nowhere

Bringing down anyone foolish enough to be around me

Maybe it’s a little overdue but I’m ready to start again

I got ten new toes, looks like they’re in new rows

Connected to my new legs

Taking me places I may well have been to before

But suddenly everything’s new I’ve managed to

Start again

It’s a new moment, different to the last

Unencumbered it arises just for an instant before being replaced by another

Incessantly it’s all moving faster than baby clothes and the weather

The wrecking ball of change is coming

But if you can start again

You’re doing ok

Reality’s always going somewhere, frequently I wonder if I’m invited

But this time it’s front row tickets VIP after-show party

Wish I could stay here but nothing lasts forever

Start again

'Cause attachment is the root of all suffering

Makes me tired of carrying this many-handled bag

Past this series of door handles

You gotta clear your mind take a deep breath

Just let it go man, oh let it go

The good bits and the bad, let it all go

The past is only real if you choose to make it your present

Turns out it’s all true, that fridge magnet wisdom of your parents

The wrecking ball of change is coming

But if you can start again

You’re doing ok

Sometimes I’m the greatest

Sometimes I’m a failure

Sometimes I’m fearless

Sometimes I’m useless

Sometimes I’m a fighter

Sometimes I’m a coward

Sometimes I’m clueless

Sometimes I figure it out

Sometimes the days they all look the same

And time slips away

It’s like everything is just waiting… waiting… waiting… to

Start again

Can you love with nothing to lose

And nothing to take

Can you make every day a day to

Start again

The wrecking ball of change is coming

But if you can start again

You’re doing ok

So look out new face windows

Behind every loss is a gift to

Start again
