Start of Something New
Troy & Gabriella Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Living in my own world
Didn't understand
That anything can happen
When you take a chance

I never believed in
What I couldn't see
I never opened up my heart (oh-oh)
To all the possibilities, ooh-ooh

(I know) that something has changed
(Never felt this way)
And right here tonight

This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you, oh-oh

And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart (feel in my heart)
The start of something new (oh, yeah)

Now who'd of ever thought that (mmm)
We'd both be here tonight? (oh, yeah)
And the world looks so much brighter (brighter, brighter), oh
With you by my side (by my side)

I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
I know it for real

This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
Oh

And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new

I never knew that it could happen
'Til it happened to me
Oh, oh, yeah
I didn't know it before
But now it's easy to see
Yeah

It's a start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
Oh

And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart

That it's the start
Of something new
It feels so right (so right)
To be here with you (oh-oh)

And now looking in your eyes (looking in your eyes)
I feel in my heart (feel in my heart)
The start of something new




(The start of something new)

Being self-absorbed and unaware of others


Didn't understand
Being ignorant


That anything can happen
That life is full of surprises


When you take a chance
When you're brave enough to try something new


I never believed in
I used to doubt


What I couldn't see

In this specific moment

But now it's easy to see
But now it's clear and evident


It's a start
It's the beginning


The start of something new
The initial phase of an unexplored journey
