​start Lyrics by Ethan Bortnick

start / cLosure

2019

[Verse 1]
I've no fear of growing older
But, I don't know who I am when we part
And I don't know how to tell you
I don't know where to start

[Pre-Chorus]
The only home I know is where you are
Crank the sound of the TV on, in the dark
To drown out the silence in my heart
I don't, I don't wanna start again

[Chorus]
I don't
I don't
I don't wanna start again
I don't
I don't
I don't wanna start again

[Verse 2]
Growing close was not a mistake
But, we won't know who we are when we part
The only comfort is, you feel the same
When I'm lost, I wanna shout your name

[Pre-Chorus]
The only home I know is where you are
Crank the sound of the TV on, in the dark
To drown out the silence in my heart
I don't, I don't wanna start again

[Chorus]
I don't
I don't
I don't wanna start again
I don't
I don't
I don't wanna start again (I don't wanna start again!)

[Bridge]
How are you gonna pick me up when you're not around?
Oh, how are you gonna pick me up when you're not around?

[Pre-Chorus]
The only home I know is where you are
Crank the sound of the TV on, in the dark
To drown out the silence in my heart
I don't, I don't wanna start again

[Chorus]
I don't
I don't
I don't wanna start again (I don't wanna start again!)
I don't
I don't
I don't wanna start again (I don't wanna start again!)

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
I don't (I don't)
I don't (I don't)
I don't wanna start again
I don't (I don't)
(To drown out the silence in my heart, oh)
I don't (I don't)
I don't wanna start again

[Outro]
What am I gonna do?
Prisoned in black balloons
How am I gonna get through?
Sheltered me from hard truths
Nothing means more to me than you
