“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.

knows anyone. That’s the thing
about relationships - people are
always saying, “I want to know you,

always changing, so how can anyone
else share in that?”
