Lyrics
Where Do We Start - TBurns
Will it ever stop raining? Will the sun ever return?
Will we make one more winter? Can we hold out that long?
Will we ever get back to the life that we had before this one?
The clouds in the heavens blend with the sky
Like the hours of the days of the weeks of the months that go by
We may never go back to the life that we had before this one
Chorus:
If we read every name out loud
It would take us a lifetime
If we add up the numbers alone
It will just break your heart
Once we've learned that the stories are burned
In our very own footsteps
Where do we start?
It's a strong wind each evening that blows through the crowd
And shakes our foundations wherever they're found
We can never go back to the life that we had before this one
Chorus:
It was chilly this morning when I woke to the rain
And the not-too-distant sound of an oncoming train
It's not taking us back to the life that we had before this one
Last chorus:
We should read every name out loud if it takes us a lifetime
We should add up the numbers alone 'til it just breaks our heart
We have learned how the stories are burned in our very own footsteps
But where do we start?
