Lyrics

It's coming back again

Feeling the return of something familiar or recurring.

I've been here once before

Reflecting on a past experience, suggesting a sense of déjà vu.

Familiar thoughts run through my head

Recurrence of known thoughts in the mind.

If I could find a way

Expressing a desire to find a solution or resolution.

To make it all seem right

Seeking a way to make everything feel correct or acceptable.

To get it back the way things were

Longing to return to a previous state or time in life.


Before (before)

Repetition of the word "before," emphasizing a previous state.

Never the same

Highlighting the idea that things have changed and will never be the same.


Pick up your feet again

Encouragement to move forward, not to lag behind.

Try not to fall behind

Caution against falling behind in life's journey.

It all consumes you if you let it

Warning about the all-encompassing nature of certain experiences.

I wish I could explain

Expressing a desire to convey something difficult to articulate.

All the simple things

Desire to explain simple, fundamental aspects of life.

And I despise the way we left it

Expressing dislike for the way a situation or relationship ended.


Before (before)

Reiteration of the idea that the past will not be the same.

Never the same

Reinforcing the notion of irreversible change.


Just like I've always known

Affirmation of familiarity, as if recognizing a recurring pattern.

It's clear once more

Clarity returning to the situation or thoughts.

And now these thoughts remain

Emphasis on enduring thoughts that contribute to personal completeness.

That make me whole

Suggesting that certain thoughts contribute to a sense of wholeness.


Don't let it be unknown

Encouragement not to let certain aspects become unknown or overlooked.

They way we change

Acknowledgment of the inevitability of change.

Is how we'll say

Indication that how one expresses change will define memories.

The memories

Highlighting the importance of memories in shaping perspectives.

The way things were

Reference to the past and a desire for its restoration.


Before

Repetition of "before," underscoring the theme of past change.


Just like I've always known

Reaffirmation of familiarity with a recurring pattern.

It's clear once more

Clarity returning to the situation or thoughts.

And now these thoughts remain

Emphasis on enduring thoughts that contribute to personal completeness.

That make me whole

Suggesting that certain thoughts contribute to a sense of wholeness.


You tell yourself it's all ok

Encouragement to convince oneself that everything is okay.

It's clear once more

Repetition of the idea that clarity has returned to the situation.

You tell yourself it's all the same

Encouragement to convince oneself that everything is the same.

But these thoughts remain

Emphasis on persistent thoughts despite attempts to convince oneself otherwise.
