lyrics

Once You Get Started

I was your brother in the neon you were my sister in the light
We were lovers in the morning we were twins at midnight
We were searchin for the secret we were bettin we were right Somehow it never really mattered what was black and what was white
But there were demons there were devils there were spoilers in the stars And all the paper thin feelings turn to ashes in the fire
Even when the pain is healing you can never hide the scars
You can’t get back home once you’ve gone so far
Once you get started you never stop
Once you get started you never stop All the broken hearted reachin for the top Once you get started you never stop
I remember your face on that final day
You looked so outta place in that dingy cafe On the train station ramp like a scene in a play The lady and the tramp were both runnin away
And you never came back no you never returned Along the silent track across the bridges you burned Down the rain slick alleys round the corners you turned To bring back nothin nothin you learned
Once you get started you never stop
Once you get started you never stop
All the broken hearted see the curtain drop Once you get started you never stop
