Starting Over
R5 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, the same old scenery
Ain't round here waiting for me anymore (anymore)
Oh, anymore
I'm onto something new
What I had before is out the door and it just won't do
Gonna switch it up to a different view (hey), hoo hoo
Gotta change it up, turn around
Cause I know what I need and now, I'm getting it now
Gotta start it over, hoo hoo

Yeah, I gotta hit reset, begin again
Ain't never going back to where I've been, whoa whoa
Well, I'm starting over
Yeah, I'm gonna reboot, redo, check my flow
Keep moving along 'til I get where I wanna go, whoa
Cause I've been there, done that, ain't looking over my shoulder
I'm starting over

I've been getting nowhere
And getting there fast
Then a voice in my head said "you can't let this last"
It's all in your past
Sometimes you gotta take a chance, take a risk
Find out everything out there that you've missed
And start over

Yeah, I gotta hit reset, begin again
Ain't never going back to where I've been, whoa whoa
Well, I'm starting over
Yeah, I'm gonna reboot, redo, check my flow
Keep moving along 'til I get where I wanna go, whoa
Cause I've been there, done that, ain't looking over my shoulder (ooh yeah)
I'm starting over

Yeah, I'm dreaming of something new
Oh, and how we'll go, only you will do




I'm starting over, starting over
Starting over, yeah
