[I. The Darkness]


[Verse 1]

It's everywhere that I go

It's everything that I see

And I don't know how to fight it

What was down is now up

And what was up has gone down

This scene has lost all its spirit

If you're not going

Every minute of every day

You'll end up somewhere behind it

Back in the day things were hard

But so much simpler in ways

You didn't know when to quit


[Chorus]

Outshined by everyone around

Feeling lost and never found

Trying hard to fight the good fight

Out of the darkness and into the light


[Verse 2]

Strange things always come

When your mind is not clear

And there's no understanding

Thrown right under the bus

Throwing up all your guts

To get back to beginnings

Habits carved into stone

That you do all alone

When nobody is watching

Trying not to get caught

Fear is what you have sought

And it's much too demanding


[Chorus]

Outshined by everyone around

Feeling lost and never found

Trying hard to fight the good fight

Out of the darkness and into the light


[II. Chance Meeting]


[Intro]

I saw you sitting with your friends that day

I tried to keep myself from staring

I found the courage but I had nothing to say

My tongue was tied and I was daring


[Hook]

How lucky, the sun came shining


[Verse]

You told me I was out of my mind

I said you were crazy

But it was me who was crazy

Drunk on the wine in your eyes

Our story is written across the sky

Words to last forever

And the meaning just gets clearer every day


[Hook]

I hope you know we share one soul

Never let go


[III. On My Own]


[Verse 1]

Can you tell me?

Can you help me? I am feeling down

Situation overload

Our ship has run aground


[Verse 2]

Waiting for the lightning strike

To come and bring me down

I talk but you don't hear a sound


[Verse 3]

It's got me so frustrated

The words have been debated

Can you give me any reason at all?

I want to know


[Chorus]

I gotta know I'm on my own


[IV. Start Over Again]


[Verse]

How you doin', my man?

You got anything to say?

Tell us everything

Everything you learned along the way

The crowd they love you today

Tell us everything

How you did it?

How you made your way?


[Pre-Chorus]

Start over again

Feel alive come on and take it

Start over again

Feel alive come on and make it


[Chorus]

Start over again

Come and take it

Start over again

Come on, let's make it, yeah
