Begin Again - Andy Shauf

Begin again

This time you should take a bow at the very end

It’s quite an act you put on

Wait 'til the cameras roll

You’re the leading man

In a film where the end of the world

Is decided by you, whenever you choose

Oh from the sky a brilliant light will dissolve us all

Begin again

And tell me all about the one that you love

And all about the other one

That you’ve got on the side

I don’t give a damn

About you fooling around behind Sherry’s back

It’s just the one that you found

Is one that I need

Oh from the sky a brilliant light will dissolve us all

Listen to this half-wit

Spilling his guts after a bottle of wine

Thought this would be a good time

Now I can’t finish my drink

Let him laugh it off

«Hey, it’s a city the size of a dinner plate

It’s hard not to overlap

What could you expect?»

Oh from the sky a brilliant light will dissolve us all

Now I’m kicking leaves

Cursing the one that I love and the one I don’t

I wonder who you’re thinking of
