This is a start That I know I'll believe in So I'm leavin' everything behind Keeping the parts That I know I'll be needing And I breed to be a better kind And I'm leavin' everyone behind This is the age When my past should be gone But it's just stronger than the aims I have Turning the pages I used to hang on to I was young and I have changed my mind And I'm leaving everything behind New beginning again A bit closer New beginning again A little bit closer New beginning again A bit closer to the end This is the time It's a delicate line To the beginning of what's yet to come Lifetimes of changes A strange generation Explanations never come in time So I'm leavin' everything behind

For 27 years I've been trying to believe and confide in Different people I've found. Some of them got closer then others Some wouldn't even bother and then you came around I didn't really know what to call you, you didn't know me at all But I was happy to explain. I never really knew how to move you So I tried to intrude through the little holes in your veins And I saw you But that's not an invitation That's all I get If this is communication I disconnect I've seen you, I know you But I don't know How to connect, so I disconnect You always seem to know where to find me and I'm still here behind you In the corner of your eye. I'll never really learn how to love you But I know that I love you through the hole in the sky. Where I see you And that's not an invitation That's all I get If this is communication I disconnect I've seen you, I know you But I don't know How to connect, so I disconnect Well this is an invitation It's not a threat If you want communication That's what you get I'm talking and talking But I don't know How to connect And I hold a record for being patient With your kind of hesitation I need you, you want me But I don't know How to connect, so I disconnect I disconnect.
