Again & Again Lyrics - Bob Mould

It began sometime last week 

The 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 

But it was only for a while 

I tried my best to radiate 

Through hurricanes and double eights 

The pair split into two 

I'm talking points, I'm up on high 

Watch me walk the ledge 

I am comfortable out here by myself 

You could never reach me here 

Words distorted in the wind 

Landed softly there beneath the trees 

Our trip to California 

Don't say I didn't try to warn ya 

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 

I couldn't forgive the things that you did 

I'm glad it worked out for you 

But you're only foolin' yourself 

If you think you won't do it again and again 

Sad attempt at poetry 

Sad attempt at happiness 

The sadness of reality 

I'm okay, I've been okay, I stay okay 

I took the bullets from the cardboard 

Tossed them in my backpack 

Placed a set of keys inside the grill 

I locked 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 foolin' yourself 

If you think you won't do it again and again
