Start Again

I saw you out there by the old oak tree
Like someone from the early 70s
Dressed in glitter, shimmering in the sun
They didn't know just what to make of you
I knew exactly what I had to do
There was no question you were gonna be the one

So we went to the dance, yeah
Dressed to the nines
You had all the moves
And you didn't mind my two left feet
I was so far behind
Your smile was a sign
I feel ready to start again
(Oh yeah)

I couldn't wait until school was done
We'd be together all summer long
Two of a kind, shimmying in the sun
We didn't care about the looks we got
The name-calling
We'd say, "So what?"
They just didn't know how it feels to be in love
How could they have known when they'd already given up?

They'd settled for something sturdy and grey
We wanted to burn bright every day
But it went too far
Now you've gone away
And I just don't know how I can ever start again
(Oh no)

La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la
I don't know how I can ever start again
La la la la la la la la la la la
I don't know how I can ever start again
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la
