Lyrics
Here we go, looking like we're back again
Reflecting on returning to a familiar situation or relationship.
To something old, when will we start listening?
Raising a question about when people will begin to pay attention.
To our past, to our friends
Encouraging consideration of past experiences and friendships.
These circles never end
Highlighting repetitive patterns that never seem to cease.
They still come around
Noting the recurrence of certain circumstances or people.
And we cannot pretend
Acknowledging the impossibility of feigning ignorance.
That the time that we spend
Recognizing the significance of time spent on certain matters.
Isn't profound, mm mm
Emphasizing the depth and importance of the experiences.
We keep trippin' on the backslide
Admitting repeated mistakes or regressions in behavior.
Getting caught up in the good times
Getting entangled in enjoyable moments without considering reality.
No thinking 'bout the real life
Neglecting the responsibilities of daily life.
(No control, we go, get in the zone)
Describing a lack of control and getting immersed in a certain state.
It must've been the sunshine
Speculating on external factors influencing behavior, like sunshine.
Or it could've been the moonlight
Considering alternative factors like moonlight affecting decisions.
Now we're dreaming of the full ride
Dreaming of a carefree and successful future.
(Take it slow, don't fold, never could know)
Advising caution and patience, avoiding hasty decisions.
We keep slippin' on the backslide
Acknowledging a recurring pattern of slipping back into old habits.
It was a bad idea right from the start
Admitting that the idea was flawed from the beginning.
Commute cross-country for a future fall-apart
Describing a journey that is likely to lead to a disappointing outcome.
You said it was all calculated risk
Referring to a false sense of security in making calculated decisions.
But all that thinking goes to nothing 'cause
Asserting that logical thinking may not be reliable in certain situations.
Logic don't mean shit
Challenging the effectiveness of logic in preventing negative outcomes.
On the backslide
Reiterating the tendency to regress or make mistakes.
Getting caught up in the good times
Revisiting the allure of enjoyable moments without facing reality.
No thinking 'bout the real life
Repeating the theme of neglecting real-life responsibilities.
(No control, we go, get in the zone)
Reiterating the lack of control and getting lost in a certain state.
It must've been the sunlight
Suggesting external factors like sunlight affecting behavior.
Or it could've been the moonshine
Considering the influence of substances like moonshine on decisions.
Now we're dreaming of the full ride
Continuing to dream of an idealized future.
(Take it slow, don't fold, never could know)
Reiterating the advice to be cautious and patient.
We keep slippin' on the backslide
Persisting in the pattern of slipping back into old behaviors.
And I've never had much of a reason to stay
Expressing a lack of compelling reasons to stay in a situation.
Except it would mean I'd be getting to see your face
Highlighting the significance of seeing a familiar face as a reason to stay.
