lyrics

There's a room I keep under lock and key,
walking by it ten times a day at least.
Absentmindedly touching the door knob
expecting it to be cool or hot.
But it's not.

I can’t change,
and lord I want to.
Might seem strange,
but it’s hard to go back to the start.

It's hard to go back to the golden age now
that we are so far apart.
I’m waiting for curtain call from side stage while
wishing I had one more shot.

Today I drilled a peep hole,
the racket raising every damn soul.
Saw shapes that made it hard to breathe,
things I know are there but try not to see:
all the ugliness inside me.

I can’t change,
and lord I want to.
Might seem strange,
but it’s hard to go back to the start.

It's hard to go back to the golden age now
that we are so far apart.
I’m waiting for curtain call from side stage while
wishing I had one more shot.

I can’t change,
and I don’t want to.
I just want to go back to the start.
Might seem strange
when moving on to
just want to go back to the start.

Maybe tonight I’ll set them free
and let em get their yayas out on me.
Roll my eyes at some while they give me grief,
let others stare me down while I beg and plead ,
"Get back in there by morning please."

I can’t change,
and lord I want to.
Might seem strange,
but it’s hard to go back to the start.
