總喜歡Tim的筆觸下，簡單又觸動人心的歌詞。
從新專輯Strangeland發行自今，看到了不少國內外歌迷在網路上轉錄這首歌，並發表感言
，The Starting Line(起跑線)引起非常多人的共鳴。
曲子是2010年夏天Tim在Boston所寫出來的，當時Tim正在公車上，喝著啤酒、
手握著吉他，突然有了寫這首歌的靈感。
我很喜歡這幾句歌詞：
You think you've done your journey
Then you stumble and find that there's such a ling way to go
你以為旅程已到了盡頭
卻又絆了一跤
才發現前方還有漫漫長路
人生總有很多讓人備感無奈的事，有時候以為要結束了，才發現前方的路依然崎嶇。但我們
沒有後退的選擇，還得繼續往前走，只能打起精神來到起跑點，勇敢走下去，才有機會見到
光明。

The Starting Line Lyrics 起跑線
This town was a lovers stage
But now you can't recognise
The streetlights that are daggers to your eyes
You can't find your bearings
You're slipping into the ground
The scene has no colour and no sound.
Do you still believe in me
After the things I've done
You fear for what we have become？
The ground is uneven
We stumble from day to day
But shelter where it's easy
I know ypur feetare like lead
But you've got to get underway
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
It's too easy to get left behind
I know youve been kicked around
But tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me.
Each heart is a paper kite
Blown around by the breeze
Love wont rest till it brings you to your knees
Some find it easy, some will never even know
You think youve done your journey,
Then you stumble and find that there's such a long way to go
Drag your heart up to the starting line
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
It's too easy to get left behind
I know you've been kicked around
You want to be lost and not be found
But let's take the back way into town
And drink to the bad times
Lay them down on me
Girl, I still believe in you
Your too good to fall so low
We're going to find a better life I know
Things will be clearer
And soon as we make a start
Well be that much nearer
We're too old to just stand here waiting to break apart
