Tom P Buckley

Lyrics

[Intro]
[percussive acoustic guitar strumming, clean electric guitar accents]
[Verse 1]
[raspy male vocals]
Spinning out the thread
Hanging with the dead
It's getting dark
It's already gone
Mark what we do
Up a stair or two
Little silver line
Hits me in the eye
[Chorus]
[full band enters, driving drums]
I don't know the change
Try it again
I don't know the way back
I'll be there my friend
I don't know the story
That I had for you
Lost along the way
Or I cared to
[crescendo, heavy crash cymbals]
Oh again we try, try, try, try, try
Everybody all again
Try again
[bass and drums drop out, acoustic guitar only]
Hold me down as far as you can
I don't like the way
All this conversation has played out
[bass and drums re-enter]
Every cigarette's burning through the ground
I hear an inner sound
I don't know the reasons I came here for this time
Here I am again
Did I make it mine?
If I fall down again
Never find the line
[Chorus]
[crescendo, heavy crash cymbals]
Oh again we try, try, try, try, try
Everybody all again
Try again
[Outro]
[acoustic guitar strumming fades]
Oh I thought I had all you need
But I didn't know the way you are
Oh I thought I had all you wanted
