LYRICS:

These days just move like water falling 
And Summer is always one breath away

And the Subway is always crowded with people 
Trying to earn their way to pay

For some dream that they say on TV 
Of heroes with their backs against the wall.

But all these million tiny moments
That makeup days like these
Is where the real work of heroes live
That save us from ourselves

But oh
That's the way work goes. 

I never said I'd stick around
And I kind of figured you'd work that out

By the way I always have one foot out the door
Whenever some shit would go down

But I guess I gotta face up to it someday
That always running from the World

Is just another way of saying
That I have no love enough for myself 
Just to sit here with you and be still  

But Oh
That's the way growing up goes. 

It seems like a thousand lives ago 
When I held that bottle in my hand 

And just trying to act tough or something
But I was just a kid without a plan

Now 20 years later
I’m walking down that same road
With nothing really good to show
Except a few stupid stories

But I’m looking on the mirror 
And I’m trying to change the tune

But oh
That’s the way childhood goes

Friendly Fire

Start Over Again – Verse 1*

And it’s never too late 
To wade in the waters 
From where you belong.

So 3 years and change
With a promise and an “I do”, 
We raised our dreams to the sky.

In the wake of best wishes and fond farewells 
With our books and bags and things
We move outta town.

Now waiting out the late-night shifts 
Is the Prince of loneliness
Spending days wrapped in a cloud.

And so we start over again ...

Start Over Again - Verse 1

Start Over Again – Verse 2 *

Making out at midnight
In the light of the Main Street Station 
With nowhere to go.

As her hopes of sunlight
Continue to haunt her in her dreams 
She had as a child.

But a gentle word
From a beautiful stranger 
Is all she needs for herself.

While counting down the footsteps
Of a guarded reprisal
From the greed of the devil's demands.

And so we start over again ...

Start Over Again - Verse 2

Start Over Again – Verse 3 *

Hiding out in the doorway 
On 19th and Broadway 
Trying not to be found.

As the background stands waiting
For some kind of stardom
And we dance on our heels through the crowd.

In all the Avenues and Allies
Of yesterdays heros
They search for the tales of the damned.

And the bystander's marvel 
At some kind of fortune 
We lost in the wake of the land.

And so we start over again ...

Start Over Again - Verse 3

Start Over Again – Verse 4 *

Waiting for the man
To close up the alehouse
With Iron hands held to the sky.

But we try to work out the meaning 
Of this new world
That’s brought us so far from home.

Cause it’s hard
To say goodbye to the ones 
You really love without a smile.

As the Tree
Said to the Diamond “Why so hard? ... 
For are we not one?”

And so we start over again ...

Start Over Again - Verse 4

Air †	

For the sake of love
Let's reaffirm where we're at.

For years our paths have diverged
And I don't know why.

But I do know our lives are still
On the same line.

Cause blood is only water
But love is thicker than air.

And we've had our fair share of air.
But loves air has always warmed

The distance between spaces
Where words sometimes lose their meaning.

Cause blood is only water
But love is thicker than air.
