Arcade Fire - Ready to Start (Remixed by Damian Taylor & Arcade Fire) lyrics

If I was scared, I would and if I was pure, you know I would And if I was yours, but I'm not, now I'm ready to start If I was scared, I would and if I was pure, you know I would And if I was yours, but I'm not, now I'm ready to start, now I'm ready to start I would rather be wrong than live in the shadows of your song My mind is open wide and now I'm ready to start, now I'm ready to start My mind is open wide and now I'm ready to start You're not sure you open the door and step out into the dark, now I'm ready
