This is the starting of my greatest fear
 i'm all packed up, getting out of here
 but then you call and tell me not to go
 that i'm the one who put the rock n roll
 in your life

 this is the starting of a brand new day
 i never liked this town much anyway
 i need this city like i need the rain
 i know that somewhere there's a north bound train

 oh i'll make it without you
 and though my bodies laying here
 it's my mouth that must be lying now

 this is the starting of my fall from grace
 my self esteem, it's seen better days
 but you know i'll never let this go to waste
 i'll keep this memory on the map i trace
 back to home

 my friends go out, but i've been staying in
 i know i should but that's the way it's been
 i never cared much for the taste of gin
 i still don't now, oh, but it's been helpin

 oh i'll make it without you
 in my life
 oh i'll make it without you
 and though my bodies laying here
 it's my mouth that must be lying now
