(Reset) [Punchy Intro] [V1] I didn’t know the weight of a decision Or how quickly a certainty can fracture I couldn’t tell a rejection from an invitation Or recognise a pattern of bad behaviour I gave the benefit of the doubt To people who had little to give called it patience, called it loyalty called it learning how to live [Chorus] Can I start this again? Now I know all that I know Put me back at the beginning And let me have another go I would know who to trust I would know what to question I would see what was coming Before I’d learnt my lesson (Reset) [V2] There were choices that looked harmless Until the consequences took their cost Some roads only reveal their direction When you’ve travelled far enough to be lost I mistook persistence for purpose endurance for growth stayed long after the meaning Had built a protective moat [Chorus] Can I start again? Now I know all that I know Give me back the beginning And let me have another go I’d recognise the warning I’d understand what it meant I’d spend less of my life Recovering from energy I’d spent (Reset) [V3] I’d notice the good things sooner Before time made them ware I’d protect the people who mattered Instead of assuming they’d always be there I’d question the habits that numbed me When empty was a place to hide I’d understand that some doors close gently But still leave you outside [Bridge] I’ve got a legitimate complaint But there’s no place to submit it No company No secretary No file All this useful hindsight And nowhere to put it [Instrumental with inventive solo] [Chorus] Can I start again? Now I know all that I know Put me back at the beginning And let me have another go I’ll take everything I’ve learned Every scar, every scrape Just give me a second chance The best of it I will make (Reset) [Outro] Nobody tells you it’s your first time It is also the last You only understand the instructions When it’s the past (Reset) (Reset) (Reset)
