Start Over

about

The last years of my life have been marked by reset after reset. Dramatic change, while it is an inevitable part of life, can really reveal what actually matters. Something about the way I am wired craves a dramatic reset every few years. Time to get rid of all my stuff. Time to move somewhere. Time to try something new. Those resets come naturally, and I even look forward to them. But the change that will never come easily is starting over, after losing someone who was woven into your life and your heart.

lyrics

Do you want to start over?
We could move to LA
Pack our bags and be out there in April or May
Do you want to start over?

Just when I was getting sober
My grandmother died
It’s been 43 days and I still haven’t cried
Just when I was getting sober

Oh I’ve tried to keep it inside
Staying busy helps my brain conceal it
When I slow down I know you’re not around
And my only choice is just to feel it

Oh I miss you so
I miss you so bad
I can’t let you go
Unless you come back

Are you scared of getting older?
Slowly fading away
One by one, letting go of each memory we made
Are you scared of getting older?

Let’s pretend that we’re already dead
So we don’t have to be afraid of dying
Let’s both say things will always be ok
Say it now, say it even if you’re lying

Oh I need you so
I need you so bad
I can’t let you go
Unless you come back

Do you want to start over?
Do you want to start over?
