about
A personal ballad about loss and stagnation disguised as an upbeat, indie-rock anthem.
lyrics
Verse)
I can’t believe
I can’t believe
I did it again
I did it again
I care too much
And each time I say
Never again
I’ll never do it again
(Pre-chorus)
So why do I keep waiting for
Someone else to come
And change that part of me
I don’t want to go
So tell your friends to leave
So we can be alone
(Verse)
I can’t believe
I can’t believe
I did it again
I did it again
I know it’s nothing serious
But I must admit
It’s fun to pretend
Fun to pretend
(Pre-chorus)
So why do I keep waiting for
You to change your mind
Each day I wait I fall
A little more behind
Delay the fall
I only need to fear the climb
(Chorus)
Still nothing has changed
Is it gonna feel this way forever?
Is it gonna feel this way forever?
Still nothing has changed
Is it gonna feel this way forever?
Is it gonna feel this way forever anyway?
(Verse)
It’s been a while
Since I’ve been myself
With somebody else
With somebody else
I may forget the details
But I won’t forget
The way that I felt
The way that I felt
(Pre-chorus)
The more I try The worse I am
The more I do the less I can
When the streetlights slowly change from orange back to blue
What am I to do?
What am I to do?
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
And I’m so tired
of people saying I’ve got time
When I know a day will come
when they don’t say that anymore
So why do I keep holding out for perfect
When the longer that I wait
The less I know it’s worth it
(Half-Verse)
I can’t believe
I can’t believe
I did it again
I did it again
(Double chorus)
(Backing vocals)
I did it again
I know it’s worth it
I did it again
I know it’s worth it
(Final vocal run)
And in the end
I thought it best to go
I spent 4 hours
Slowly walking home
I found the answers
scattered on the road
I thought through questions
I didn’t want to know
I have these feelings
I that I can not maintain
I can not expect
You to feel the same
I do not want to have to explain
I know in the end
I’ll probably have to change
I know it
I know it
I know it
I know it
Anyway…
