We Have to Start Somewhere - Warner/Chappell Productions

Last night, everything was movin' so fast I could barely keep track Oh, ff my offenses or your defenses In hindsight, I woulda, coulda, shoulda not gone there But left without a word to spare Was it your offenses or my defensiveness? That's got me thinkin' that we're never gonna get it right I wanna straighten this before the sun goes down tonight If I could only fight the bitterness I feel inside This thing is eatin' me alive Well, I'm right here and you're right there And God knows we've got to start somewhere 'Cause I'm messed up and you're broken And those shots we fired are still smokin' If I'm right here and you're right there And God knows we've got to start somewhere 'Cause I'm messed up and you're broken And those shots we fired, shots we fired are still smokin' I'm tossin' and turnin' on the things I'd undo As I wrestle with the painful truth Oh, my sleep escapes me as guilt berates me Exhausted, the memories are drawing so near I can see it like a world premiere When did my objective lose all objectiveness? That's got me thinkin' that we're never gonna get it right I wanna straighten this before the sun goes down tonight If I could only fight the bitterness I feel inside This thing is eatin' me alive, this thing is eatin' me alive Well, I'm right here and you're right there And God knows we've got to start somewhere 'Cause I'm messed up and you're broken And those shots we fired are still smokin' If I need you and you need me How can you turn your back and just leave me? When I'm right here and you're right there And God knows we've got to start somewhere I said some things that I regret And if I could, I'd take 'em back If I could turn my words around You wouldn't hear a sound But here I am and there you are The space between us is not so far I'm reaching out my hand in love before the fading sun Forgive me for what I've done Well, I'm right here (right here) and you're right there (right there) And God knows we've got to start somewhere (start somewhere) 'Cause I'm messed up (messed up) and you're broken And those shots we fired are still smokin' If I need you and you need me How can you turn your back and just leave me? When I'm right here (right here) and you're right there (right there) And God knows we've got to start somewhere

A calm sea awaits, blue skies and sun Inviting and smiling and dancing around The wind pushes north, through the straits, towards the clouds The sun rests her head on the water around By morning, our voices will sink with their shells Her belly exposed, up towards the sun Lays hindered and splintered and makes not a sound Ahead of her bow, a doll chain takes form Of women and children that someone adored In a last dance, hand in hand, they float all around
