Here Before Lyrics
Try putting on a brave face
While everything is giving way
Like an undercut riverbank
Knowing that you might go swimming, but it doesn’t matter anyway
I try to look at my reflection
And see it’s getting bigger fast
By the time it looks life-size
I’ll be soaking wet, wondering how I ended up on my ass
[Chorus]:
I’ve been here before
And I don’t need to go back anymore
Thought I’d woken on the wrong side
But maybe it’s the wrong bed
You can get tangled up and do your best to try
Landing on your feet, and still wind up landing on your head
So then you try to make it look good
Like it was what you wanted all along
You never thought that you would wind up finding out
Nothing was quite as you had took for granted all along
[Chorus]
Why would I fall back into this shitstorm? I mean, what went wrong?
Why would I get it all over me?
Maybe I’ll squeeze back into this suit I paid way too much for
‘Cause you can feel bad these days for free
[Chorus x2]
I've been here before...
I've been here before...
I've been here before...
Don't need to go back anymore...
I've been here before...
I've been here before...
And I don't need to go back anymore...
'Cause I've been here before...
While everything is giving way
Like an undercut riverbank
Knowing that you might go swimming, but it doesn’t matter anyway
And see it’s getting bigger fast
By the time it looks life-size
I’ll be soaking wet, wondering how I ended up on my ass
I’ve been here before
And I don’t need to go back anymore
But maybe it’s the wrong bed
You can get tangled up and do your best to try
Landing on your feet, and still wind up landing on your head
Like it was what you wanted all along
You never thought that you would wind up finding out
Nothing was quite as you had took for granted all along
Why would I get it all over me?
Maybe I’ll squeeze back into this suit I paid way too much for
‘Cause you can feel bad these days for free
I've been here before...
I've been here before...
Don't need to go back anymore...
I've been here before...
I've been here before...
And I don't need to go back anymore...
'Cause I've been here before...
