Lyrics for I want to start at the beginning

I want to start at the beginning In the parking lot outside my local burger place I feel a longing And I went down Kneeling on that stoop I want my kids chasing you And it's not the same And I'm still chasing you In the craziness Just chasing you (down, down, down, down) And I went down Kneeling on that stoop I want my kids chasing you And it's not the same And I'm still chasing you In the craziness Still chasing you And I went down Kneeling on that stoop I want my kids chasing you And it's not the same It's not And I'm still, still- Juicy, warm, voluptuous With muscle and fat Texture and resistance Animalic, toxic Tough or tender, burnt Loved, real I used to be that
