Beginnings of Things

Searching Through the Changes

You say you love the first impression
Laying the foundation of what’s begun
You love the start of chamber music
But you’re always refusing the movement next to come
You mostly shop for satisfaction
Feeding the attraction of buying something that’s rare
It’s, “on to the next” that fuels your outcome
It’s laying down a cash sum for something you’ll never wear

And when the newness passes and the conversation lags
When the song has finished its first verse
The thrill is fading quickly, just like a desert’s spring
‘Cause you only like the beginnings of things

A five course meal just leaves you restless
Never mind what taste’s best it’s too long to commit
Your perfect job is always the next one
And the position you’ll soon leave from is just not the right fit

To stay just makes you shiver
there’s no way I could deliver that novel forecast just in view…

‘Cause when the newness passes and the conversation lags
When the song has finished its first verse
The thrill is fading quickly, just like a desert’s spring
‘Cause you only like the beginnings of things
