With Hopes of Starting Over... is the debut EP from the band The Starting Line, released on June 25, 2001 by Drive-Thru Records. It featured four original songs, two of which later reappeared on their full-length album Say It Like You Mean It, and a cover of Starship's "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now".

In November 2005, a sixth song from the recording session surfaced, titled "Song for Her". The acoustic guitar driven song had been cut from the CD for reasons unknown, but was ultimately released online on the band's PureVolume profile.

"Three's a Charm" featured a music video, as well as a music video for "Leaving" recorded during the Say It Like You Mean It album.
