Before I Even Started

“The longer I put off starting my own firm
the longer it can remain a dream
And not something I screw up at
It’s like I’m giving up before I even started”

I saw you across the room
Talking to people about whatever
You probably didn’t notice when our eyes met
In that brief second I could see eternity
Everything that could be
It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen
How could I ever risk ruining it?

So before I even started 
I gave up without trying
And I saw you walk away
The girl with no name

Holding on to the dream 
Of the future that could be
Sometimes seems so much better
Than to face the disaster 
The potential rejection
The proof of what you already know
That there’s still a long way to go

So before I even started 
I might give up without trying
To live up to the dream
Of being enough to be with you
-
“When will I know I’m ready?
You won’t
It’s a leap of faith
that’s all it is Miles
A leap of faith”
They’d say faith, oh yeah, it’s faith
How can I know? You won’t.
-
So Before I even start
(I won’t give up without trying
I’ll swallow the lumps down my throat
To hell with the dream
I want my future to be real
You can call leo
What should I call you?)

I’m Leo. I’m At The Door.

At the door between the known and the unknown.

Striving to create bridges of understanding where we can all meet, as one.

Or just a guy writing songs and stories.
