Finish What We Started
Ingram Hill Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why do we fight?
Let the walls come down right now
Time to turn the page
We take it on faith

We can wait
Because we've got tomorrow
Baby it's borrowed
And I need you today

We still have the time
To get it right

Yeah, we all make mistakes
If we don't learn to bend, we break
Gotta finish what we started

Nothing matters with out love
'Cause baby, it's all we're made of
Gotta finish what we started
Started again

Driving all night, just to find me some piece of mind
That I might not find, 'cause I waited too long
Don't tell me you're gone

I know that it's faith but I just couldn't wait anymore
Now my heart's on your floor
Where it should have been before

We still have tonight
To get it right

Yeah, we all make mistakes
If we don't learn to bend we break
Gotta finish what we started

Nothing matters with out love
'Cause baby it's all we're made of
Gotta finish what we started
Started again

Yeah, we all make mistakes
If we don't learn to bend we break
Gotta finish what we started
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Nothing matters with out love
'Cause baby it's all that we're made of
Gotta finish what we started
Started again

Can we try? Can we try?
Can we try?
Gotta finish what we started




Can we try? We try
Can we try?
