Start of Something New
Zac Efron & Vanessa Hudgens 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 my heart (ooh)
To all the possibilities

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

Now who'd of ever thought that (ooh)
We'd both be here tonight (ooh yeah)
And the world looks so much brighter (brighter)
With you 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 (ooh)
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new

I never knew that it could happen
Till it happened to me

I didn't know it before
But now it's easy to see

It's the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you (ooh)
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 (ooh)
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new




Start of something new
The start of something new

Overall Meaning

In this song, the singers are explaining their newfound love for each other. They talk about a change in their understanding and perception of what is possible in life, especially in matters of the heart. The first verse indicates that the singer lived in his own world, isolated and indifferent to the unpredictable nature of life. He never believed nor accepted the possibilities that life had offered to him. He then meets the girl he is singing with and realizes that something in him had changed. He had never felt so strongly before, and the thought of being with her feels so right. The chorus is all about how this could be the start of something new, something special that they both believe in.


The second verse expresses surprise and shock that they both ended up together, but now everything seems brighter and better with her by his side. The chorus repeats the idea that this newfound relationship could be the start of something new, something they believe will transform their lives forever. The bridge of the song mentions the realization that love can happen to anyone, and it happened to the singers. They hadn't seen it coming, but now they understand the ease and beauty of it. The last line reaffirms the fact that this is, indeed, the start of something new.

I never believed in What I couldn't see

I never opened my heart (Oh)

It feels so right to be here with you (oh)
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart (feel in my heart)
The start of something new

Now who'd have ever thought that
We'd both be here tonight
And the world looks so much brighter
With you by my side
I know that something has changed
Never felt this way

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

And now looking in your eyes I feel in my heart
That it's the start of something new
It feels so right to be here with you
And now looking in your eyes I feel in my heart
The start of something new (The start of something new)
The start of something new
