We're Doing it All Over Again

by Colin Chau   May 9, 2006


Verse 1
I swore I could never write again
But now I've got a reason to take my pen
Put it to paper, I'm gonna try this over
But I'm sorry
I can't promise a medley
because I'm burnt out
I'm copping out
Living an existence that keeps on crying bloody murder
How the hell did you lose her
Here today, and gone tomorrow
I remember watching your back from a hundred miles

Chorus
Yeah,
and time will say nothing but I told you so
and time will only know the price we have to pay
and if only I could tell you I'd let you know
that I'm hating everything about it but it's gotta be this way.

Verse 2
Let's do this, let's play the game again
We'll torch this ourselves
Warm ourselves and venture out into the wilderness again
With the white rabbit we’ll take our chances, though not all California dreams come true
Yeah let's do this, let's discard and chase after the extraordinary
Because we're young and dreams are always worth the time and we always laughed as the rest of the world bathed
bathed in their sedentary lives
Yeah, let's make something of our lives
Let's immerse ourselves
Let's lose ourselves in this arbitrary rush of passion and hope

Chorus
Yeah,
and time will say nothing but I told you so
and time will only know the price we have to pay
and if only I could tell you I'd let you know
that I'm hating everything about it but it's gotta be this way.

Bridge x 2
We marveled, and we'll marvel all over again
Look how we made it, look how we lost it
and how we built it all over again
And you'll stay here, we’ll stay here all over again
And you'll leave me, yeah I'll leave you
We'll strand each other all over and over again

We marveled, and we'll marvel all over again
Look how we made it, look how we lost it
and how we built it all over again
And you'll stay here, we’ll stay here all over again
And you'll leave me, yeah I'll leave you
We'll strand each other all over and over again
...No.

Verse 3

    Hi, Colin. [:

    My, has it been awhile! If I didn't know any better I'd say you were just keeping everyone on the edge of their seat waiting for your next masterpiece. :P I absolutely loved this piece. The bridge... well, I can most definitely relate with it. Thank you for your comment... it brought a smile to my face. I do hope you continue with your writing! I, too, have felt the aggravation of being a silent poet. So much to say, but our words can never convey what we wish to release. I feel that right at this moment, but I'm gonna give it another try. [: I hope you do, as well!

    Take care!
    ~Grace
