Before It's Over
A awkward girl with her guitar, keeping to herself
Friday nights alone, with the records on her shelf
A waitress pouring ginger-ale and coke
Someone you ask out as a joke
I've been that girl who fades away, accepting what I've got
Stuck in what I am, and everything I'm not
I've only seen this tiny world I'm in,
Where I can only be what I've been.
See a world, beautiful and strange
Spinning off somewhere, saying "meet me there"
Look, look how fast it runs away
Singing "follow close and reach for me"
See that you've got so much more to be
Before it's over, Before it's over
I can't go write another song I'm too afraid to play
Or dream how things can change but only see what's in my way
I can't go back to what I was before
Now that I can see so much more
See a world beautiful and strange
On a one way track and it won't come back
Look, look how fast it runs away
Singing "follow close and reach for me"
See that you've got so much more to be
Before it's over
I never even knew a world was waiting
Somehow something awful made that world appear
Maybe this sounds crazy but I'm happy that it happened
Happy that I came, happy that I'm here
I can see a world beautiful and strange
Can you see it too?
It's so close don't let it get away
There's so much to do
Before it's over
Friday nights alone, with the records on her shelf
A waitress pouring ginger-ale and coke
Someone you ask out as a joke
I've been that girl who fades away, accepting what I've got
Stuck in what I am, and everything I'm not
I've only seen this tiny world I'm in,
Where I can only be what I've been.
See a world, beautiful and strange
Spinning off somewhere, saying "meet me there"
Look, look how fast it runs away
Singing "follow close and reach for me"
See that you've got so much more to be
Before it's over, Before it's over
I can't go write another song I'm too afraid to play
Or dream how things can change but only see what's in my way
I can't go back to what I was before
Now that I can see so much more
See a world beautiful and strange
On a one way track and it won't come back
Look, look how fast it runs away
Singing "follow close and reach for me"
See that you've got so much more to be
Before it's over
I never even knew a world was waiting
Somehow something awful made that world appear
Maybe this sounds crazy but I'm happy that it happened
Happy that I came, happy that I'm here
I can see a world beautiful and strange
Can you see it too?
It's so close don't let it get away
There's so much to do
Before it's over
