Before Its Over

An awkward girl with her guitar
Keepin to herself
Friday nights alone
With the records on her shelf
A waitress pourin ginger ale and Coke
Someone you ask out
As a joke
Ive been that girl who fades away
Accepting what Ive got
Stuck in what I am
And everything Im not
Ive only seen this tiny world Im in
Where I can only be what Ive been
See a world
Beautiful and strange
Spinnin off somewhere
Sayin 'Meet me there'
Look, look
How fast it runs away
Singin ' Follow close
And reach for me
See that youve got so much more to be'
Before its over
Before its over
I cant go write another song
Im too afraid to play
Or dream how things could change
But only see whats in my way
I cant go back to what I was before
Now that I can see so much more
See a world
Beautiful and strange
On a one-way track
And it wont come back
Look, look
How fast it runs away
Singin 'Follow close
And reach for me
See that youve got so much more to be'
Before its over
I never even knew a world was waiting
Somehow, something awful made that world appear
Maybe this sounds crazy,
But Im happy that it happened
Happy that I came
Happy that Im here
I can
See a world
Beautiful and strange
Can you see it too?
Its so close,
Dont let it get away
Theres so much to do
Before its over
