Starting Line Lyrics
In and out of focus
Moments that I keep
Something for the pain
And something so I sleep
Won’t you comfort me?
Warm the air that I breathe
Visceral in doses
Hiding in the seams
Standing on the sun and I don’t feel a thing
Won’t you comfort me?
Take the fear I don’t need
I wake every morning with the years ticking by
I’m missing all these memories, maybe they were never mine
I feel the walls are closing
I’m running out of the time
I think I missed the gun at the starting line
Tell me, am I broken?
I can never leave
Biting on my tongue and
Checking if it bleeds
Is it lost on me?
All the things I believe
Something like an omen
I can never keep
Moving on and on, so very bittersweet
Is it lost on me?
All the things I don’t need
I wake every morning with the years ticking by
I’m missing all these memories, maybe they were never mine
I feel the walls are closing
I’m running out of the time
I think I missed the gun at the starting line
Take me alive
Make me a liar
Take me alive
Don’t look away until it’s gone
Til it’s gone
Take me alive
Make me a liar
Take me alive
Don’t look away until it’s gone
Til it’s gone
I wake every morning with the years ticking by
I’m missing all these memories, maybe they were never mine
I feel the walls are closing
I’m running out of the time
I think I missed the gun at the starting line
Take me alive
Make me a liar
Take me alive
Don’t look away until it’s gone
Til it’s gone
Take me alive
Make me a liar
Take me alive
Don’t look away until it’s gone
Til it’s gone
Moments that I keep
Something for the pain
And something so I sleep
Won’t you comfort me?
Warm the air that I breathe
Hiding in the seams
Standing on the sun and I don’t feel a thing
Won’t you comfort me?
Take the fear I don’t need
I’m missing all these memories, maybe they were never mine
I feel the walls are closing
I’m running out of the time
I think I missed the gun at the starting line
I can never leave
Biting on my tongue and
Checking if it bleeds
Is it lost on me?
All the things I believe
I can never keep
Moving on and on, so very bittersweet
Is it lost on me?
All the things I don’t need
I’m missing all these memories, maybe they were never mine
I feel the walls are closing
I’m running out of the time
I think I missed the gun at the starting line
Make me a liar
Take me alive
Don’t look away until it’s gone
Til it’s gone
Make me a liar
Take me alive
Don’t look away until it’s gone
Til it’s gone
I’m missing all these memories, maybe they were never mine
I feel the walls are closing
I’m running out of the time
I think I missed the gun at the starting line
Make me a liar
Take me alive
Don’t look away until it’s gone
Til it’s gone
Make me a liar
Take me alive
Don’t look away until it’s gone
Til it’s gone

i think this song is simply about him reflecting on his past and how his life went by very quickly, that he forgot many memories about his life due to the quickness and craziness of being in a popular band. i also think it has something to do with facing our fears, hence the album title "when facing the things we turn away from."
