Starting Line Letra - Luke Hemmings

In and out of focus, moments that I keep

Something for the pain and something so I sleep

Won't you comfort me? Warm the air that I breathe

Visceral in doses, hidin' in the seams

Standin' on the sun and I don't feel a thing

Won't you comfort me? Take the fear I don't need

I wake up every mornin' with the years ticking by

I'm missin' all these memories, maybe they were never mine

I feel the walls are closin', I'm runnin' out of time

I think I missed the gun at the starting line

Tell me, am I broken? I can never leave

Bitin' on my tongue and checking if it bleeds

Oh, is it lost on me, all the things I believe?

Something like an omen I can never keep

Movin' on and on, so very bittersweet

Is it lost on me, all the things I don't need?

I wake up every mornin' with the years ticking by

I'm missin' all these memories, maybe they were never mine

I feel the walls are closin', I'm runnin' out of time

I think I missed the gun at the starting line

(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

Take me alive, make me a liar, take me alive

Don't look away until it's gone, till it's gone

Take me alive, make me a liar, take me alive

Don't look away until it's gone, till it's gone

I wake up every mornin', the years ticking by

I'm missin' all these memories, maybe they were never mine (Ah)

I feel the walls are closin', I'm runnin' out of time

I think I missed the gun at the starting line

(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

Take me alive, make me a liar, take me alive

Don't look away until it's gone, till it's gone

Take me alive, make me a liar, take me alive

Don't look away until it's gone, till it's gone
