Breaking Ground
State Champs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been waiting for the sun to come up and to let you know
There's a reason that I up and left about a week ago
If complaining is your only move
Then it's all about my whereabouts and what I plan to do

I'll never find your heart in a place like this
I'll never find your trust when it doesn't exist
I wanna start over, where do we begin?
I thought I was stronger than to let you in
I'm finally learning how the tables are turning
So let's start this over, but where do we begin?

Sometimes you can read my mind
It's like we're always breaking ground at the same time
And I noticed you don't show it
With Boston still on your skin
The answer isn't where you are, it's where you've been
And you know it, so control it, 'cause I figured out

I'll never find your heart in a place like this
This town isn't yours to miss

I wanna start over, where do we begin?
I thought I was stronger than to let you in
I'm finally learning how the tables are turning
So let's start this over, but where do we begin?

Am I strong enough now to keep my feet on the ground?
Can I tell you how I'm feeling with out making a sound?
Am I strong enough now to keep my feet on the ground?
So long, here's your song

I wanna start over, where do we begin?
I thought I was stronger than to let you in
I'm finally learning how the tables are turning
So let's start this over, but where do we begin?





But where do we begin?
