Starting Line Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In and out of focus, moments that I keep
Something for the pain and something so I sleep
Won't you comfort me? Warm the air that I breathe
Visceral in doses, hidin' in the seams
Standin' on the sun and I don't feel a thing
Won't you comfort me? Take the fear I don't need
[Chorus]
I wake up every mornin' with the years ticking by
I'm missin' all these memories, maybe they were never mine
I feel the walls are closin', I'm runnin' out of time
I think I missed the gun at the starting line
[Verse 2]
Tell me, am I brokеn? I can never leavе
Bitin' on my tongue and checking if it bleeds
Oh, is it lost on me, all the things I believe?
Something like an omen I can never keep
Movin' on and on, so very bittersweet
Is it lost on me, all the things I don't need?
[Chorus]
I wake up every mornin' with the years ticking by
I'm missin' all these memories, maybe they were never mine
I feel the walls are closin', I'm runnin' out of time
I think I missed the gun at the starting line
[Post-Chorus]
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
[Bridge]
Take me alive, make me a liar, take me alive
Don't look away until it's gone, till it's gone
Take me alive, make me a liar, take me alive
Don't look away until it's gone, till it's gone
[Chorus]
I wake up every mornin', the years ticking by
I'm missin' all these memories, maybe they were never mine (Ah)
I feel the walls are closin', I'm runnin' out of time
I think I missed the gun at the starting line
[Post-Chorus]
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
[Outro]
Take me alive, make me a liar, take me alive
Don't look away until it's gone, till it's gone
Take me alive, make me a liar, take me alive
Don't look away until it's gone, till it's gone

What did Luke Hemmings say about "Starting Line"?
I’m in constant pursuit of bettering myself in that department. A lot of the songs are about where I’m at today, but some of them are written from the perspective of a 17- year-old kid in the thick of the industry. You’re reflecting on your youth and all of the madness and craziness. It’s like you’r...
What else have the artists said about the song?
The lyric and sonic of “Starting Line” are a reflection on 10 years of your life passing you by in what felt like forever, but also in the blink of an eye. It’s about forgetting pieces of your life—not from vices, but from sheer volume and speed. I’ve had to figure out how to fill all the gaps for m...
