Back at the Start
Secret locations and time stamped destinations
Where I had once thought we'd take our children in the winter
But your, your indigo eyes won't be on the kids of mine
Looks like time's working against us and
God knows I'm sorry
For any complications I've caused
I don't know how we made strangers
Out of all of that love
But baby for you I'd
Peeled the bones from my skin
And handed you them
If it would keep you from touching my heart
I sit, motionless, wonder if I still exist
Or if that piece of me is already gone
It can't end like this, all your promises
Just for us to end back at the start
Oh, back at the start
Now I will take that picture that's worth a thousand words
Throw it in my closet until it no longer burns
And senseless hysteria continues to give me the time of day
And I will sit and hope that you've changed and
God knows I'm sorry
For any complications I've caused
I don't know how we made strangers
Out of all of that love
But baby for you I'd
Peeled the bones from my skin
And handed you them
If it would keep you from touching my heart
I sit, motionless, wonder if I still exist
Or if that piece of me is already gone
It can't end like this, all your promises
Just for us to end back at the start
Oh, back at the start
You had given me a space to breathe
Now I've gone and fallen at your feet
Tell me who I am without you near
Lost inside myself I disappear
You had given me a space to breathe
Peeled the bones from my skin
And handed you them
If it would keep you from touching my heart
I sit, motionless, wonder if I still exist
Or if that piece of me is already gone
It can't end like this, all your promises
Just for us to end back at the start
Oh, back at the start
Where I had once thought we'd take our children in the winter
But your, your indigo eyes won't be on the kids of mine
Looks like time's working against us and
God knows I'm sorry
For any complications I've caused
I don't know how we made strangers
Out of all of that love
But baby for you I'd
Peeled the bones from my skin
And handed you them
If it would keep you from touching my heart
I sit, motionless, wonder if I still exist
Or if that piece of me is already gone
It can't end like this, all your promises
Just for us to end back at the start
Oh, back at the start
Now I will take that picture that's worth a thousand words
Throw it in my closet until it no longer burns
And senseless hysteria continues to give me the time of day
And I will sit and hope that you've changed and
God knows I'm sorry
For any complications I've caused
I don't know how we made strangers
Out of all of that love
But baby for you I'd

And handed you them
If it would keep you from touching my heart

Or if that piece of me is already gone

Just for us to end back at the start
Oh, back at the start

You had given me a space to breathe

Or if that piece of me is already gone
It can't end like this, all your promises
Just for us to end back at the start
Oh, back at the start
