Before Its Over

An awkward girl with her guitar

Keepin' to herself

Friday nights alone

With the records on her shelf

A waitress pourin' ginger ale and Coke

Someone you ask out

As a joke

I've been that girl who fades away

Accepting what I've got

Stuck in what I am

And everything I'm not

I've only seen this tiny world I'm in

Where I can only be what I've been

See a world

Beautiful and strange

Spinnin' off somewhere

Sayin'"Meet me there"

Look, look

How fast it runs away

Singin'"Follow close

And reach for me

See that you've got so much more to be"

Before it's over

Before it's over

I can't go write another song

I'm too afraid to play

Or dream how things could change

But only see what's in my way

I can't go back to what I was before

Now that I can see so much more

See a world

Beautiful and strange

On a one-way track

And it won't come back

Look, look

How fast it runs away

Singin'"Follow close

And reach for me

See that you've got so much more to be"

Before it's over

I never even knew a world was waiting

Somehow, something awful made that world appear

Maybe this sounds crazy,

But I'm happy that it happened

Happy that I came

Happy that I'm here

I can

See a world

Beautiful and strange

Can you see it too?

It's so close,

Don't let it get away

There's so much to do

Before it's over
