This Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This is the start of something beautiful
This is the start of something new
You are the one who'd make me lose it all
You are the start of something new, oh

[Chorus]
And I'll throw it all away
Watch you fall into my arms again
And I'll throw it all away
Watch you fall now

[Verse 2]
You are the earth that I will stand upon
You are the words that I will sing

[Chorus]
And I've thrown it all away
And watched you fall into his arms again
And I've thrown it all away
And watched you fall now, woah

[Bridge]
And take me back, take me home
Watch me fall down to Earth
Take me back for
[Outro]
This is the start of something beautiful
You are the start of something new

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

Ed explained at his iTunes Live performance that while he lived out in the boonies with his friends, he’d go to music fests and get so drunk that he’d wander off and watch random performances and just meet new people, acting like he’d known them for years. In his performance, he asked everyone to hold the person next to them tight, and pretend like they would love each other forever even though they might not know each other. He was recreating his experiences through this song.
