Starting Over
by Genevieve Petty
It's a game called starting over
A game called beginning again
It seems that things are different now
It happens that times have changed
Took a turn for the worse
So you pack up to try again
It's a game called starting over
A game called beginning again
It's one you play very well
One you've practiced many times
When things look dark and bleak
And your troubles are bearing down
You look for a route of escape
And you pack up and move away
It's a game called starting over
A game called beginning again
And its method is to move away
You look for new apartments
A new school to go to
Familiarize yourself with your surroundings
Find the best place to hand out at
In this game called starting over
This game of beginning again
In those moves you lose a few things
Are they worth the opportunity you gain?
Leave a friend in a town you'll never return to
Lose everyone on the way.
