Start Again
Parade Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Steal what you need, and leave the rest for me
You never took the time, to look at what you've got
And all the times you fell, I was there to pick you up
You're never far away, from what you want to be

I've found it's harder to reach the end
Now I'm trying to start again
Can't you see that it's incomplete?
Now I'm taking the things that you need

I've found it's harder to reach the end
Now I'm trying to start again
Is it something I said before?
Can't you tell us apart anymore?

So steal what you need, and leave the rest for me
You never took the time, to look at what you've got
And all the times you fell, I was there to pick you up
You're never far away, from what you want to be

I've found it's harder to reach the end
Now I'm trying to start again
Can't you see that it's incomplete?
Now I'm taking the things that you need

I've found it's harder to reach the end
Now I'm trying to start again




Is it something I said before?
Can't you tell us apart anymore?

Line by Line Meaning

Steal what you need, and leave the rest for me
Take what you must, but don't forget about me


You never took the time, to look at what you've got
You always wanted more and never appreciated what you had


And all the times you fell, I was there to pick you up
I was always there to support and help you, even when you failed


You're never far away, from what you want to be
You always knew your goals and dreams, and never let them stray too far


I've found it's harder to reach the end
It's becoming increasingly difficult to reach my goals


Now I'm trying to start again
I'm beginning anew, trying to reach my goals once more


Can't you see that it's incomplete?
My life feels incomplete, like there's something missing


Now I'm taking the things that you need
I'm finally taking care of what I need instead of always prioritizing others


Is it something I said before?
Did I say or do something wrong that made you act this way?


Can't you tell us apart anymore?
Do you not see the difference between us anymore? Have our paths diverged too much?
