Again
Good Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Saw you from a distance
Somehow I knew our paths would cross someday
In my eyes you could do no wrong
I never thought I'd ever have someone like you
You came at a time when
I could count my friends on one hand
And I don't think I want to be another float
In your sad parade
And it makes me wonder is this how you've treated
All the friends you've made
I put you on a pedestal
I knew it was the worst thing I could do
I used to feel that way black and grey
Now everything is fucked up
There's people talking shit
It looks like I was wrong
And I don't care who's right
I don't want to fight
Why me
This tape's been
Played before
Is this what
Friends are for
It's all my fault
Wrong again
In "Again," Good sings about a relationship with a person who went from being put on a pedestal to being revealed as someone who treats their friends poorly. In the first few lines of the song, Good describes seeing this person from a distance and somehow knowing that their paths would cross someday. This sets up the idea that this person was meant to be a part of the singer's life in some way. From the beginning, the singer held this person in high regard, seeing them as someone who could do no wrong.
As the relationship develops, the singer becomes more and more invested in it, seeing this person as a true friend at a time when they didn't have many others. However, eventually, the singer realizes that this person is not as kind and genuine as they had previously believed. There are people talking negatively about this person, and the singer is forced to confront the idea that they had been wrong about them all along. This realization is painful and disappointing, as the singer had hoped for more from this person.
The lyrics in "Again" are relatable to anyone who has ever had a friendship or relationship that didn't turn out as they had hoped. The disappointment of realizing that someone you held in high regard is not who you thought they were is a feeling that many people have experienced. Good does an excellent job of capturing this emotion in the song, making it a powerful and moving piece of music.
