Lyrics by Nikki O'Neill

Starting Over

Words & Music by Nikki O'Neill

I closed one door and you walked in
to my life, now I'm starting over
Never before have I felt this
hopeful and open
Yeah, I'm starting over

Deep inside, I knew
the picture wasn't right
Sleepless nights
hurting from their lies

I had to let go of what I know
to get ready for you

I closed one door ...

You know, sometimes I fear
to tell you about my life
Can I speak my mind
Will you stay by my side

I had to let go of what I know
to let you through

I closed one door...

Whatever I tell you
you're still there
You know all my secrets
and you still care
It's a new road I'm traveling

I'm starting over

Never before have I felt this
Hopeful and open
Yeah, I'm starting over

I closed one door ...

It's Simple (But It's Not Easy)

Words & Music by Nikki O'Neill

I work 'til five and feel my life dissipate
Get stuck in traffic and I'm home by eight
My apartment looks too plain
The records I own all sound the same

So I took my bike out to the beach at six am
Watching the waves in a moment of zen
If it makes me feel this way
Then why don't I do it everyday

I know a lot of ways to set me free
To walk the walk and stop the talk, it's plain to see
To try something new
With no promises or guarantees
It's simple, but it's not easy

When I was a little girl, I knew the life for me
Singing and traveling was my greatest dream
And it never went away
Am I crazy to think I could do it someday

I know a lot of ways ...

Wish I wasn't so afraid
What if I tried to live my life
In a different way
Would everybody find me vain
Would everyone I love
Walk away

I take my boredom and my misery out on you
My rational logic says it isn't right to do
Staying where I am - a sure way to cause a split
But loving me a little more makes me love the one I'm with

Some Day

Words & Music by Nikki O'Neill

Some day
I hope I'll see you once again
We fought, you're gone
And now I look at myself
Look at myself

A new phase
But no one's come and nothing's changed
It's clear to me
I gave my heart to a dream
You're just a dream

Time is gonna let us start all over
Baby, can't you stay?
Can't we find a way?
What I wouldn't do for

Some day
To hear you say our love will mend
It's meant to be
But we've got to start with ourselves
Start with ourselves
