Again and Again Songtext
von Bob Mould

It began sometime last week
A feeling that most everything was changing
For the worse
All the triggers pulled at once
So begins my ugly fall from grace
Again
I made myself delusional
A noble stab at staying upbeat
It was only for a while

I tried my best to radiate
Through hurricanes and double eights
The pair split into two

The talking points of my heart
Watch me walk the ledge
I am comfortable
Out here by myself

And you could never reach me here
Words distorted in the wind
Landed softly there beneath the trees


I tripped to California
Don′t say I didn't try to warn you
Put down the cell phone
And try to be with me
Did you see me disappear?
Like vapor rolling through the hills
And then the silence of your name

I never found the trust I needed from you
Everything you did was making me wonder
My biggest mistake was taking you back
Again and again
Couldn′t forgive the things that you did
I'm glad it worked out for you
But you're only fooling yourself
If you think you won′t do it
Again and again

Sad attempt at poetry
Sad attempt at happiness
The sadness of reality

And I′m okay
I've been okay
I stay okay


I took the bullets from the cardboard
Tossed them in my backpack
I placed a set of keys inside the grill
I left the title to the house
Inside the piano bench
And my lawyers got the will

I never found the trust I needed from you
Everything you did was making me wonder
My biggest mistake was taking you back
Again and again
I couldn′t forgive the things that you did
I'm glad it worked out for you
But you′re only fooling yourself
If you think you won't do it
Again and again

My biggest mistake was taking you back
Again and again
I couldn′t forgive the things that you did
I'm glad it worked out for you
But you're fooling yourself
Fooling yourself if you think you won′t do it
Again and again
