Before It's Over

A awkward girl with her guitar, keeping to herself

Friday nights alone, with the records on her shelf

A waitress pouring 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

Spinning off somewhere, saying "meet me there"

Look, look how fast it runs away

Singing "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 can 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

Singing "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
