We've been here before and we'll be here again
We seem to look for something that's missing
And when we can't see eye to eye
Then we know it is killing
This isn't a game about the score
At least we'd understand that more
So, when we cannot find our common ground
Feels like our world is breaking
But maybe this time we can start anew
Maybe this time it'll all come true
Can we burn it away and start again?
Burn it away
But after the smoke clears it will not go away
It just pushes back for another day
And no matter how many things are agreed
These unequal values will always impede
These steps that we take are hard to imagine
Maybe it's something we all go through
We simply hold on to the good times
Before it all comes crashing down
We try so much we try so hard
We know it shouldn't be this way
So, when we cannot find our common ground
Feels like our world is breaking down
Lost for so long
Something feels wrong
Alter our key values so that we get along
I know it's wearing thin
But fix it up again
Time after time, yeah, I know it is broken
Are we so blind to see?
How long can we believe?
Time after time, yeah, I know it is broken
And after the smoke clears it will not go away
But maybe this time we can start anew
Maybe this time it'll all come true
Just burn it away and start again
Just burn it away
Maybe it's time to just let go?
If I ever get there I'll let you know
Lost for so long
Something feels wrong
Alter our key values so that we get along
Lost for so long
Something feels wrong
Alter our key values so that we get along
I know it's wearing thin
But fix it up again
Time after time, yeah, I know it is broken
Are we so blind to see?
How long can we believe?
Time after time, yeah, I know it is broken
And after the smoke clears it will not go away
