We're About 9 - Starting Over lyrics

by Brian Gundersdorf I found the paper I was looking for At a stationary store Put my hand down And drew a word One letter at a time I studied every line The way I once had learned Now I’m faster every year I’m better every time I’ve been working my way To the front of the line Here we are December 31st It hasn’t been the best year It hasn’t been the worst I’ve been cutting out the carbs tightening my speech I’ve been pushing extra hard Singing notes that I can’t reach (We landed on these shores, no lungs no legs, no hope no way, all of our settings strange Electric signals from our brains, our internets, our airplanes) I’ve had enough This year I’m starting off Starting over Starting over I put my middle finger down On the d string, second fret and my index finger on the string above and I played that single chord I never got bored Of the way it seemed to fit me like a glove (Chorus) When I sang The word I’d written down And strummed that chord out…loud The two became Some kind of new compound This simple thing I found Is all I need right now Here we are December 31st It hasn’t been the best year It hasn’t been the worst I’ve been cutting out the carbs tightening my speech I’ve been pushing extra hard Singing notes that I can’t reach (We landed on these shores, no lungs no legs, no hope no way, all of our settings strange Electric signals from our brains, our internets, our airplanes) I’ve had enough This year I’m starting off Starting over Starting over
