I've Been Here Before

And I've been here before

Gazing at that sunlit riddle that I can't solve even though I try again
You can say it again
My friends wanna tell me something's different
It's the same thing over and over again

Can you riddle me that now?
Can you tell me love that it's time?
Won't you save me as I pretend?

Are we over the hill now?
You know when the part where things get rough in tide
Grows in size
Would you die inside?
Would you let me rise again?

And I've been here before
And I've been here before

And I've been here before
I can sympathize with all those kinds of people that get tied in

And I've seen it before
Convince myself this time's something's different
Yet I can't put my finger on it

And you tell me you know how
But I can see that you're hopeless and you're trying
You try over and over again

And if you didn't know right
You practice and protect those lonely reasons as you focus on your defense
Over and over again

And I've been here before
And I've been here before

And I've been here before
I could fool myself into thinking something's missing

There's nothin' to gain
And there's nothin' to get
Will you sympathize and open up your heart?
Before you fall apart

And I've been here before
And I've been here before
(And I've been here before)

(ohh-oh-oh, ohh-ohh)
(ohh-oh-oh, ohh-ohh)
(ohh-oh-oh, ohh-ohh)

Gimme five more minutes 'til I fall apart
And I've been here before
Gimme five more minutes 'til I fall apart
(Five more minutes, life prepare yourself)
Gimme five more minutes 'til I fall apart (been here before)
And there's nothing to gain (yeah)
And there's nothing to get

Gimme five more minutes 'til I fall apart (Keep your head up)
Gimme five more minutes 'til I fall apart (There's just nothing to get)
Gimme five more minutes 'til I fall apart

And I've been here before
Yeah, I've been here before
