Start A Life lyrics

I don't know why

I even try to be simple

when all I find

is everything complicated.

When I left home,

I found the holes in my pockets.

My parents smiled,

they didn't know I was frightened.

Try to start a life,

try to make a point.

Try to start a life, 

it's harder than you think.

As I shoved off,

I took a good look behind me.

My tether gone,

a greater binding awaiting.

Try to start a life,

try to make a point.

Try to start a life, 

it's harder than you think.

Try to start a life,

try to make a point.

Try to start a life.

Thought I heard the shot,

but I cannot tell.

Think that I can run,

but I cannot tell.

Wish I had it made,

but I cannot tell what I do not know.

Still, I press on

into the ground I am keeping.

With any luck,

I hope to make an arrangement.

Try to start a life,

try to make a point.

Try to start a life, 

it's harder than you think.

Try to start a life,

try to make a point.

Try to start a life, 

it's harder than you think.

Try to start a life,

try to start a life,

try to start a life,

try to start a life.
