lyrics

Say what you will
If you could choose to create an illusion
If you could hide it all behind a curtain
If you could let it brood inside your stomach
I would
I’ve got so many distractions now

But it’s too late

Dream the ideal
If could make a space in which you accept it
If you could find a way where you may forget it
If your reveries became the authentic
I would
I’ve got so many distractions now

But it’s too late

Begin again
What I wouldn't give to begin again
The innocence of being friends
The nervous reaching for your hand
To forget again
To restart again
Here I go again

Begin again
What I wouldn't do to begin again
To fight the curse of the modern man
To bring us back to how we were then
To forget again
To restart again
Here I go again
