lyrics

Beginnings are the hardest part
The start is like a painting the artist painted dark
But lately, I've been thinking maybe I see the world too plainly
And take away it's charm
But as long as Batman's saving Gotham and Starfleet's sending ships out on their way
I will try to find, try to find, I will find the proper words to say
Cause I've searched my heart so many times but nothing every quite lived up to you

And I'm sitting here inside my head
And I'm running calculations to tell you how I feel
And I"m failing cause your exhilarating and my words are just a pale thing
Next to what they try to say
But as long as there's a madman traveling in a box through time and space
I will try to find, try to find, I will find the proper words to say
Cause I've searched my heart so many times but nothing ever quite lived up to you

Through fire, though ice and plague and death
I'll love you till the last breath has left this fragile frame
Goddammit - I thought that might have had it
But I guess I'll just have at it on another day
Because the joy of love ain't loving, the joy is in discovering your heart
And then digging deep, digging deep and giving someone else the kindest part
Cause I've searched my heart so many times but nothing ever quite lived up to you
