[Verse 1]

I brought you here

I thought it would be a good idea

To bring you home with me

I let us burn like a forest fire, my love

Being alone was my greatest fear

So, now I’m here

In the ashes of the greatest love

I’ve ever known

And you’re in the smoke of your early memory

You lost who you could be

The greatest man I’d ever know

[Chorus]

What would you do if you were ruined to rust?

Wherе would you go if all the loves

You’ve еver known turned to dust?

What would you do if in God you couldn’t trust?

How would you build a home all on your own without instruct?

I don’t know what or where or how

But i’ve got nothing left i can't live without

So I’ll start here

I’ll start here

[Verse 2]

We wait outside the corner store

For something to happen

You sound like my father when you

Talk about the government

Oh but I’m just like my mother

In the way that I’d even try to save the snow

And its nothing new

I know exactly where we’ll go;

Off the rales, up in flames

You and I are not hidden gems

But neither to blame

I don’t like watching life through glass eyes

So I’ll watch this love burn instead

Cause my greatest fear is being stuck

In a love like my mother and fathers

[Chorus]

What would you do if you were ruined to rust?

Where would you go if all the loves

You’ve ever known turned to dust?

What would you do if in God you couldn’t trust?

How would you build a home all on your own without instruct?

I don’t know what or where or how

But i’ve got nothing left i can't live without

So I’ll start here

I’ll start here

Every pioneer has a starting place

This is where mine lay

[Bridge]

I know you said you don’t want to get married cause you saw what it did to your parents

Let’s make a pact to do better

Do good and get better

Oh but it ain’t that simple

To cleanse an entire life of issues

So, you told me I’m insane

Well, you made me this way

What happened?

Remember when you said you didn’t want to get carried away by your parents mistakes?

We made a pact to do better

Do good and get better

Well, look at where we ended

Sleepy and startled

This love is like all the loves I’ve ever known

This love is the end of all the loves I’ve ever known

[Chorus]

What would you do if you had to start here?

Where would you go if you had to start over?

Build a home on your own

No lover, no mother, no father

No sister no brother

I’m so behind why even bother

I’m not worth the honor

And so what do i do now that i have to start over?

I’ll start here

I’ll start here

[Outro]

If this is the end for us

Then I’ll stay clear of forest dust

And I’ll start here

At the edge of the forest

If this is the end of all the loves I’ve ever known then I’ll start here

I’ll start here

I’ll start here

Here I go
