Intro

Verse 1

This town was a lovers stage

 but now you can't recognise

the streetlights that are daggers to your eyes

You can't find your bearings

 you're slipping into the ground

 The scene has no colour and no sound.

Verse 2

You still believe in me

 after the things I've done

 You fear for what we have become

The ground is uneven

you stumble from day to day

You tread where its easy

 although your feet are like lead

 and you gotta get underway

Chorus

Drag your heart up to the starting line

Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time

Its too easy to get left behind

I know you've been kicked around

 but tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me.

Verse 3

Each heart is a paper kite blown around by the breeze

Love wont rest till it brings you to your knees

Some find it easy, some will never even know

You think youve done your journey,

 then you stumble and find that theres such a long way to go

Chorus

 Drag your heart up to the starting line

Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time

Its too easy to get left behind

I know you've been kicked around

You wanna be lost but now your found

lets take the back way into town

Drink to the bad times

 Lay them down on me

Verse 4

Girl, I still believe in you

 your too good to fall so low

we're gonna find a better life I know

Things will be clearer

as soon as we make a start

we'll be that much nearer

 we're too old to just stand here waiting to break apart

Chorus

 Drag your heart up to the starting line

Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time

Its too easy to get left behind

I know you've been kicked around

but tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me. On me...

On me...
