Step off a red-eye flight, expectantly
Hands in pocket, head in sky
Holes in my jeans
I buy lunch with pocket change
This one’s on me
I head downtown on a Friday night
Invincible my friends and me

Start over once again
I picked the battles that they said I’d never win
But I can make it with the help of my good friends
Starting over, I’m starting over

Here’s the real world now
Come what may
Safety net the friends I made
So far away
Rent cheque and credit cards
Hang over me
A one-track state of mind meets a
Cross roads mentality

Start over once again
I picked the battles that they said I’d never win
And I can make it with the help of my good friends
Starting over, I’m starting over

I dive deep in this dream
Hold my breath
But I’m drowning now within myself
I need rescue while there’s something left
I’m starting over

Start over once again
I picked the battles that they said I’d never win
But I can make it with the help of my good friends
Starting over, I’m starting over

Step off a red-eye flight
Stare wide eyed at the city lights
Invincible my friends and me
