The Starting Line
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I watch the light from your cigarette burn out into white
I'm running out of time,
Thinking you once said
Baby, we're in the army now, an army made of two just me and you…
But you're all I got and I just won't give that up
Yeah you're all I got
Ain't that worth a shot?
It's never easy getting down to it,
Never easy getting round to it
When you're ready give the sign
I'll be there at the starting line.
It's never easy getting down to it,
Never easy getting round to it
When you're ready give the sign
I'll be there at the starting line
No-one knows what 'forever' means, they say it anyway
To make you stay.
Well you should know, I cross my heart and I close my eyes
Promises are lies,
We break them every time.
But you're all I got and I just won't give that up
Yeah you're all I got
Ain't that worth a shot?
It's never easy getting down to it,
Never easy getting round to it
When you're ready give the sign
I'll be there at the starting line
It's never easy getting down to it,
Never easy getting round to it
When you're ready give the sign
I'll be there at the starting line
