A New Beginning

I never thought that I would matter in that way

I never would have guessed that one of us would cry today

A window opened.  Now I don’t know where I am

Why can’t we just stay where we began?

 

A new beginning

Another end

This is forever

If we pretend

 

You never thought that you would want to try again

You never figured you would give so much to anyone

When I appeared, you tossed your caution on the floor

Back to run the race you lost before

 

A new beginning

Another dream

This could be magic

Or just a scheme

I have seen this road before

I have opened up a door to find, behind it

There is nothing like the sun

How to end the start once it’s begun?

 

I have seen this road before

I have opened up a door to find there’s nothing there 

I couldn’t live without

Once that happens, all there is is doubt
