Lyrics I Can't Start Now - Ken Peplowski , Manu Lafer

Too many late nights
Goin' too deeply
Into her reasons for leavin' me here
Like I don't know why

Thought those blue eyes
Could complete me
But I filled them instead
With the ghosts in my head
I'm never satisfied
'Til the first tear falls

Spend my days now
Dodgin' memories
Shufflin' my dreams of what we could've been
In another time

In places we've known
I sit by the payphone
Then I warm to my theme
With the burn of the beam
And build my tower of dimes
But I still can't call

I hid it all with pride
While time was on my side
From the echoing alley
To the sun-kissed valley
I made it through somehow

I kept it all inside
I Never let it slide
And I can't start now

Well I was stand-up
Loved a showdown
Kept my eyes on the road
Never saw what I owed
'Til the price was high

I heard her sweet lips
Whisper slow down
Then my heart hid inside
While my old foolish pride
Made those blue eyes cry
And the rain came down

I've played it wise too long
To say that I was wrong
From the kisses in the alley
To the sun-kissed valley
I've broken every vow

I never used three words
Where two would be enough
And I can't start now

And every new day
Dawns to beat me
I'm on the ropes
But I'm hangin' in

But for us to survive
I feel I'd be taking a dive
And I cannot win

I hid it all with pride
While time was on my side
From the echoing alley
To the sun-kissed valley
I made it through somehow

But she had made me start
To open up my heart
And I can't stop now
