Schwa Lyrics

Start It All Over

Lyricist: Eric Sargent
Vocalist: Eric Sargent

We all long to be stronger sometimes
Sometimes our own prison walls are inside
Somewhere on the edge of the knife
Life is waiting for you

 

All alone when the fever gets hot
When you give what you gave just to get what you got
You get all caught up in the what
Keep forgettin’ the who

 

Write your name on the wall
Turn your back to it all
Make a friend of the time you have left
And start it all over
Start it all over again

 

Always planned to demand what you’re due
Stuck doin’ for others what they won’t do for you
Pushin’ all the things that are true
To the back of the line

 

Got no chance for romance or love
Scratchin’ for a  scrap is what you’re thinkin’ of
You won’t see enough is enough
Until you’ve made up your mind

 

Write your name on the wall
Turn your back to it all
Make a friend of the time you have left
And start it all over
Start it all over again

 

(Bridge)

 

When you find yourself lost in a feelin’
When you find another rock in your shoe
Catch the wave you make yourself
rRide it out to the end
And start it over again

 

In the night when you need ‘em most
Grab the one  you love and keep on holdin’ them close
Punch the jailor right in the nose
And keep em in sight

 

It can’t start with nobody but you
Don’t let no one  tell you what you’re gonna do
Paint over the black and the blue
It’s gonna be alright

 

Write your name on the wall
Turn your back to it all
Make a friend of the time you have left
And start it all over
Start it all over again
