Start a Band (feat. Aaron Gillespie)
Sick of lookin' through a window
At the things I've wanted
Nose against the glass
Been so long it's like I'm haunted
(By something inside of me
That's been aching to run)
But I get
(Caught up when I try to see
Where it could go wrong)
Caffeinated out of my mind
Trying to stay awake
Maybe it's a sign of the times
Or maybe I'm too late
(But somethin reaches through
The glass in the mirror)
I feel it
(Call me with familiar melodies in my ear)
I used to know the words to that song
I used to sing it 'til my voice was raw
I thought it vanished into thin air
Are you still there
Wake up
Don't you ignore that feelin
In your gut, it's not
Made up
That's just your starving artist
Screaming you've got
Too much to gain
To never give it a chance
Risk the pain
Make the whole world understand
What happens when you
Start a band
It's always risky doing anything that matters
If I say "what" I mean "What if it's met with laughter"
(Walking on a wire is a thrill or a fright)
So I've been
(Cropping out the liars 'til the image is right)
If imma do this, I'm gon' need
Something to ground me
Protect my energy and keep my people 'round me
(Poetry is hope and freedom walking with doubt)
So I'll keep
Singing at the night 'til the stars come out
I used to know the words to that song
I used to sing it 'til my voice was raw
I thought it vanished into thin air
Are you still there
Wake up
Don't you ignore that feelin
In your gut, it's not
Made up
That's just your starving artist
Screaming you've got
Too much to gain
To never give it a chance
Risk the pain
Make the whole world understand
What happens when you
Start a band
Windows buzz and the whole house shakes
With that song I used to know
It's in my lungs, it's written on my face
And it feels like goin'
Home
Wake up
Don't you ignore that feelin
In your gut, it's not
Made up
That's just your starving artist
Screaming you've got
Too much to gain
To never give it a chance
Risk the pain
Make the whole world understand
What happens when you
Start a band
Start a band
What happens when you
Start a band
At the things I've wanted
Nose against the glass
Been so long it's like I'm haunted
