So this is what you meant
When you said that you were spent?
And now its time to build from the bottom of the pit right to the top
Don’t hold back
Packing my bags and giving the Academy a rain check
I don’t ever wanna let you down
I don’t ever wanna leave this town
‘Cause after all this city never sleeps at night
Chorus
It’s time to begin, isn’t it?
I get a little bit bigger but then I’ll admit
I’m just the same as I was
Now don’t you understand?
That I’m never changing who I am
So this is where you fell
And I am left to sell
The path to Heaven runs through miles of clouded Hell right to the top
Don’t look back
Turning to rags and giving the commodities a rain check
I don’t ever wanna let you down
I don’t ever wanna leave this town
‘Cause after all this city never sleeps at night
Chorus
It’s time to begin, isn’t it?
I get a little bit bigger but then I’ll admit
I’m just the same as I was
Now don’t you understand?
That I’m never changing who I am
(Repeat)
This road never looked so lonely
This house doesn’t burn down slowly
To ashes!
To ashes!
Chorus
It’s time to begin, isn’t it?
I get a little bit bigger but then I’ll admit
I’m just the same as I was
Now don’t you understand?
That I’m never changing who I am
(Repeat)
I think it means life will screw you over God knows how many times, but no matter what you shouldn't sulk or conform to what people think you should be... for example a doctor makes tons of money but if you don't enjoy what medical careers have to offer them what's the point!
