Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I had this crazy idea

Somehow we'd coast to the end

Change lies in every direction tonight

Guess we'll just begin again

[Verse 2]

Oh, girl, it's been a while

Since we met

I've been in the cold

Seems so long ago

It's hard to imagine

The lives we used to have

When the nights where I was alone

So now what?

[Verse 3]

I had this crazy idea

Somehow we'd coast to the end

Change lies in every direction tonight

Guess we'll just begin again

I think you know you're my best friend

[Verse 4]

It's sort of an unspoken rule

That things will not turn out the way you planned

You know that I

I can handle all of that

If I can still take your hand

And will you still think I am strong

If I admit that I was wrong?

So now what?

[Verse 5]

I had this crazy idea

Somehow we'd coast to the end

Change lies in every direction tonight

Guess we'll just begin again

I hope you know you're my best friend

[Verse 6]

I had this crazy idea

Somehow we'd coast to the end

Change lies in every direction tonight

Guess we'll just begin again

[Verse 7]

Guess we'll just begin again

(I guess we'll just begin again)

I guess we'll just begin again

(I guess we'll just begin again)

(I guess we'll just begin again)

I guess we'll just begin again

(I guess we'll just begin again)

(I guess we'll just begin again)

I guess we'll just begin again

(I guess we'll just begin again)

(I guess we'll just begin again)

(I guess we'll just begin again)
