Begin Lyrics - Awake Is The New Sleep - Ben Lee

I'm walking down Broadway 

Each foot step is a new love letter 

I'm trying to make eye contact 

With each and every stranger that I pass 

Thinking about the city 

It's living proof people need to be together 

I'm thinking about how I just want to open up 

And give and give and give 

And it's okay for you to care 

'Cause I can feel you in the air 

While you wonder, how's this gonna end 

I only want it to begin 

I'm thinking about desire 

I've had to learn how to sin successfully 

I'm thinking about bliss and bliss is all dressed up 

And there's no one to dance with 

Remembering her smile and the nuclear bomb 

And the reasons I loved her 

Walking through Central Park 

I'm in a foreign country and I'm waiting for a sign 

That it's okay for you to care 

'Cause I'm not going anywhere 

And while you wonder if you should let me in 

I only want it to begin 

I'm still singing, twisting new melodies 

Breaking arrangements, thinking about my heart 

I guess you've heard, sometimes it's heavy 

But I just keep moving 

When I hit a wall, I look up at the sky 

Thinking about my maker 

And inspite of all this 

I know she won't give up on me 

And its okay for you to care 

'Cause I can taste you everywhere 

While it's true, all straight things must bend 

I only want it to begin 

I only want it to begin 

I only want it to begin 

I only want it to begin
