Before It's Over - Lindsay Mendez

An awkward girl with her guitar

Keeping to herself

Friday nights alone

With the records on her shelf

A waitress pouring gingerale and coke

Someone you ask out as a joke

I’ve been that girl who fades away

Accepting what I’ve got

Stuck in what I am

And everything I’m not

I’ve only seen this tiny world I’m in

Where I can only be what I’ve been

See a world beautiful and strange

Spinning of somewhere

Saying meet me there

Look, look how fast it runs away

Singing follow close and reach for me

See that you’ve got so much more to be

Before it’s over

Before it’s over

I can’t go write another song

I’m too afraid to play

Or dream how things could change

But only see what’s in my way

I can’t 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 won’t come back

Look, look how fast it runs away

Singing follow close and reach for me

See that you’ve got so much more to be

Before it’s over

I never even knew a world was waiting

Somehow something awful made that world appear

Maybe this sounds crazy but I’m happy that it happened

Happy that I came

Happy that I’m here

I can see a world beautiful and strange

Can you see it too?

It’s so close, don’t let it get away

There’s so much to do

Before it’s over
