Start Again
July For Kings Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Woo
She said "is anything wrong?"
And I tried to look away
She said I think we should
Put it down where secrets lay
I think we finally know
That this won't fill the space
It's over, it's nothing, it's now

The heaviest silence erased, hey hey

If you love me fucking let me go.

I will begin to turn it around
Try to start again and watch it come down
I will begin to turn it around
Try to start again and watch it come down

Come down
Woo
Come down

She said "I'll take you home"
I packed up my things
I knew I couldn't handle the words
And the deep regret they bring
I think we finally know
That this won't fill the space
It's over it's nothing it's now
It was more than we could face, hey hey.

If you love me fucking let me go.

I will begin to turn it around
Try to start again and watch it come down
I will begin to turn it around
Try to start again and watch it come down

Come down
Come
Woo
Come down

Come down

Start again
Start again
Start again

Why do I find myself here again you disappeared
With no last words I tried to keep you near.
But like he who stood before the open sea,
You rose your god damn hands and fucking parted me.
But I can start again.
I can try again.
I can always break but I can never bend.
You could lie again
Never to find again.
It was your mistake but I will start again

I will begin to turn it around
Try to start again and watch it come down
I will begin to turn it around
Try to start again and watch it come down
I...
I...
I...
Will start again

Woo
Come down.
