End of the Begining

[Intro] [clean electric guitar melodic riff] (Mmm) [Verse 1] [electric guitar arpeggios, synth bass enters] I remember I walk the same streets I used to run But nothing feels like it was young The signs are still the same as then But I don't feel like me again I pass the place we used to sit I swear I still remember it The way you laughed, the way it lit A version of me I can't get back to it I thought I moved on, I really tried But time just folds back in my mind And every step I take away Just brings me closer to that day [Chorus] [full drums enter, layered vocal harmonies] This feels like the end of the beginning Like I lost more than I was winning Everything I knew is slipping But I'm still standing where it started I don't know how to let it go When every road leads back below To the version I outgrew But still feels closer than the truth [Verse 2] [drums drop out, electric guitar and synth bass continue] Your voice still echoes in my head Like conversations never led I act like I don't care at all But I still hear it when I fall The photos fade but not the light You left inside my quiet night And I don't know if I'm okay Or just pretending day to day I tell myself it's all behind But it keeps playing every time Like I'm stuck inside a loop Between the past and what I do [Chorus] [full drums re-enter, piano accents] This feels like the end of the beginning Like I lost more than I was winning Everything I knew is slipping But I'm still standing where it started I don't know how to let it go When every road leads back below To the version I outgrew But still feels closer than the truth [Bridge] [drums drop to half-time feel, guitar becomes more rhythmic] If I could go back for a minute I wouldn't change it, I'd just sit in it Watch it all fall into place Then let it fade away Maybe I'm not lost Maybe I'm just here At the end of the Beginning [Outro] [drums and bass drop out, solo electric guitar riff] [guitar fades out]
