Again & Again

You just made the worst mistake…

And I’m still here, baby…

(Again… babe… again…)

⸻

I wanna be your lover, I don’t wanna be your friend

You don’t know what you got ’til it’s gone, my dear—again

Tell me that you love me, tell me that it’s not pretend

(I’m lost again, babe… again)

I’m running from myself, somewhere deep inside this hell

You said it’s over, but my heart won’t let me tell

I’d wait a lifetime, if you had the patience still

But you don’t, babe… again

⸻

I’m afraid you can’t really save me

But I still wanna lay with you until my vision’s fading

Demons in my head and they keep invading

No, I’m not faded, but I’m barely maintaining

Got no sense of direction, I just succumb to it

Told you I’d change, but I just run from it

Bank account dead, dreams in deficit

But I’d still buy you that bracelet, yeah, I meant it

Working too hard just to feel this empty

Almost 20 but I swear I feel like 50

Wake up in a haze, fight through the pain

Every day the same, and I’m calling your name

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

You left where I slept

Screamin’ in my head, now I’m drowning in regret

Butterflies don’t compromise my reason

But for you, I would haunt every season

⸻

I wanna be your lover, I don’t wanna be your friend

You don’t know what you got ’til it’s gone, my dear—again

Tell me that you love me, tell me that it’s not pretend

(I’m lost again, babe… again)

Ooh, she’s screamin’ in my head, I can’t escape this bed

Tried to swim the neon river but I’m sinkin’ instead

I’d wait a lifetime, even if the light is dead

But you’re gone, babe… again

⸻

Take me out, toast the change of season

I swear I’m broken, but I’m still breathin’

Tell me lies, say you’ll never leave then—

Leave again… yeah, leave again

I’m too deep in this, can’t be saved

But I still want you when I misbehave

Haunt our history, drown in the mystery

I don’t want healing, I want you in my misery

⸻

I wanna be your lover, I don’t wanna be your friend

You don’t know what you got ’til it’s gone, my dear—again

Tell me that you love me, tell me that it’s not pretend

(I’m lost again, babe… again)

You cannot save me, I’m too deep in this

But I’ll wait a lifetime just to feel your kiss

Falling through the dark, yeah, I know what this is—

Love in ruin… again, babe… again—

⸻

Again, babe… again…

You don’t know what you got…

‘Til it’s gone… my dear…
