I'm in a deep sleep
You're making eyes at me
And now you're in my body
And your kiss is all teeth

If I could do this life again
I'd come back as a lamb
And let you rip me open
Glasses full, the table's set
The words fresh from my lips
And I'm filled with regret

Oh-whoa, I'm back at the beginning
Now it ain't so easy
Oh-whoa, I'm back at the beginning
Drawing out two parallel lines
One moving forward and one back in time

I like to dress up all my fears
Doll them up, paint them red
(Got to get your mind, got to get your mind ready)
Slap some lipstick on the pig
Don't we all like to pretend?

If I could do this again
I'd come back as a white flag
And pacify my existence
'Cause if you don't think we're in hell now
Then take another look around
Everything's engulfed in flames, it's all comin' down

Oh, I'm back at the beginning
Now it ain't so easy
Oh-whoa, I'm back at the beginning
To know which way is pain and which way is reason
Oh-whoa, is this what I wanted?
Oh-whoa, is this what I wanted to be?
Oh no, I'm back at the beginning
Hold on, 'cause soon, I am gone

Oh
(D-d-do you wonder?)
(Do you wonder what it would be like to start again?)
(Do you wonder, do you, do you?)
Is this really what I wanted?
(I'm back at the beginning)
Is this really who I wanted to be?
(I'm back at the beginning)
Is this really what I wanted?
(I'm back at the beginning)
Is this really who I wanted to be?
(I'm back at the beginning)
