Lyrics

[Intro]

Oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1]

Cast out to sea

Drifting with the tide

And no way of finding me

Now that I'm free

Nothing but blue skies

Paradise in front of me

[PreChorus]

Awake from this dream

I hold my breath and just believe

[Chorus]

Tired of all the troubles, they've been wasting my time

I don't wanna fight, gonna leave it behind

Take it on faith, now I'm ready to fly

I'm in the middle of starting over

Back to the beginning, gonna hit rewind

Chance to do it over, get it right this time

Life gives you pennies, turn them into dimes

I'm in the middle of starting over

I'm in the middle of starting over

[Refrain]

Oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]

Alone in a room

Tearing down the walls

Painting over scars and bruises

Now this is home

Fill it up with love

And make the best of something new, yeah

[PreChorus]

As hard as it seems

I hold my breath and just believe

[Chorus]

Tired of all the troubles, they've been wasting my time

I don't wanna fight, gonna leave it behind

Take it on faith, now I'm ready to fly

I'm in the middle of starting over

Back to the beginning, gonna hit rewind

Chance to do it over, get it right this time

Life gives you pennies, turn them into dimes

I'm in the middle of starting over

[Bridge]

The colors and the stars seem a little brighter

Tomorrow isn't far away (Not far away)

Through the hardest part

I'm working towards a happy ending

[Chorus]

Tired of all the troubles, they've been wasting my time

I don't wanna fight, gonna leave it behind

Take it on faith, now I'm ready to fly

I'm in the middle of starting over

Back to the beginning, gonna hit rewind

Chance to do it over, get it right this time

Life gives you pennies, turn them into dimes

I'm in the middle of starting over

[Chorus]

Tired of all the troubles, they've been wasting my time

I don't wanna fight, gonna leave it behind

Take it on faith, now I'm ready to fly

I'm in the middle of starting over

Back to the beginning, gonna hit rewind

Chance to do it over, get it right this time

Life gives you pennies, turn them into dimes

I'm in the middle of starting over

I'm in the middle of starting over

[Outro]

Oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
