“Over And Over"

Over and over just as plain as can be
Taken for granted, out in the open, easy to see
Taking my chances, I'm counting my shoes
I'm playing a game, making it easy, counting in two's

By the time you get started, you're already through
Just a matter of time till it shows
Like reading the headlines, yesterday's news
Over and over

That's how it goes, or haven't you heard
Talking so fast, only at the same time
Searching for words
It's all about the same thing underneath the disguise
Just like they say
If you're looking for answers open your eyes

And sooner or later, it's easy to see
Just a matter of time till it shows
Like keeping a secret everyone knows
Over and Over

Over and Over.

“no one really
knows anyone. That’s the thing
about relationships - people are
always saying, “I want to know you,
I want to know who you are.” But
it is so hard for anyone to even
know themselves. Who I am is
always changing, so how can anyone
else share in that?”

“…[Thomas Wolfe] says that we are the sum of all the moments of our lives, and that, uh, anybody who sits down to write is gonna use the clay of their own life, that you can’t avoid that.”
