A Place In The Sun

My Next Thirty Years

Can Lovers Start Over As Friends
by Patti Ryan/Sharon Spivey

[Verse 1]
What happens to love when it dies
After we’ve said our goodbyes
Does love disappear like smoke in the air
Or does it hang on in disguise
Where in the world does it go
All things change to something, I’m told
Stars fade at dawn, but they’re not really gone
And the same goes for us, I suppose

[Chorus]
Can lovers start over as friends
Will time bring us together again
Once you’ve really loved, does it ever end
Can lovers start over as friends
Can lovers start over as friends

[Bridge]
Nothing good ever came easy
God knows look where we’ve been
But maybe we can pull off one more miracle
I guess it all depends

[Chorus] Repeat

[Chorus]
Can lovers start over as friends
Does a river return to where it begins
Will children grow up to be women and men
And get it back together again
Can lover start over as friends

[Chorus]
Can lovers start over as friends
Will time bring us back together again
Once you’ve really loved, does it ever end
Can lover start over as friends
Can lovers start over as friends

CAN LOVERS START OVER AS FRIENDS

Headlights Through Dusk

A team of psychologists at UNSW Sydney has uncovered the most compelling evidence so far that hearing voices in schizophrenia may result from the brain’s inability to recognize its own internal speech. 


Verse 1
I walk through rooms of whispering shadows
The echoes float around, I don't know if they're mine
My mind tries to speak, then deafened by confusion
The voice inside me rises, but I hear it as a sign

Pre-Chorus
Because when I think the sound, the brain should know the tone
In healthy minds the silence falls, the signal's found its home
But in this restless circuitry, the prediction fails to stand
And what was mine becomes a stranger's hand

Chorus
Hearing voices, inside my head they roam
Hearing voices, a language I once called home
When I speak to myself, the sound becomes unknown
Hearing voices, I'm haunted by my own

Verse 2
They say the inner voice should fade when I imagine speaking
But mine rebounds in louder waves, a truth I'm forced to face
The brain's alarm rings out for what it thinks is external
Not the script I penned, but a stranger's face

Pre-Chorus
In someone else's ears I hear the words I wrote
My inner narrative becomes a ghost I cannot know
The mechanism that guards the self slips under shifting sand
And what belongs to me slips through my hands

Chorus
Hearing voices, inside my head they roam
Hearing voices, a language I once called home
When I speak to myself, the sound becomes unknown
Hearing voices, I'm haunted by my own

Bridge
If I could rewrite the map that guides the silent sound
Rebuild the gate between the mind and what is found
Maybe then the voice I know will just be mine alone
And the halls of confusion won't feel like home

Chorus (repeat)
Hearing voices, inside my head they roam
Hearing voices, a language I once called home
When I speak to myself, the sound becomes unknown
Hearing voices, I'm haunted by my own

Outro
I'll listen for the moment when the silent becomes clear
When the voice inside aligns and I control what I hear
Until that moment comes I'll face the unknown
Hearing voices, I'll make that journey on my own
