Once Again
Jo-Sub Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel the summer
Searching for some shade
Searching for some words out all of the thoughts
That I'll never tell.
I reach for the sky
All I see is fall (in)
I search through the clouds that are full of rain
About to come down.

And I will be losing
It all once again
And I will be tryin'
All over again
Shout out loud to the sky
You'll be hearing the echo
Of the power you had and you hid through the rays
Of what you were not.
Go ahead cry out your name
Give it out to the Lord
That you happened to find
Through darkness and prayers
While wondering why.
Winter is reaching
And clouding my memories
I pack all my dreams
Deep down in a case
That's where they will stay
And I will be losing it all once again
And I will be tryin' all over again
Shout out loud to the sky
You'll be hearing the echo
Of the power you had and you hid through the rays
Of what you were not.
Go ahead cry out your name
Give it out to the Lord
That you happened to find
Through darkness and prayers
While wondering why.
Tell me now what's the name
That you gave to that Lord
All the colors in your eyes
Shine bright like the spring

That'll be waking you up
And all once again.

Follow me home
Come with me, accompany me back to my home

I need a change
I need something new, I'm tired of this familiar situation

From these blurred lines and all the words I know
I'm confused and don't understand the situation, despite knowing the words being used to describe it

I need you back -
I miss you and want you to return to me

I need your arms around me please so I don't fall
I need your physical and emotional support to keep me from falling apart

I heard your voice
I was aware of your presence and influence

So long before
A long time ago

Your strength remained after the switch was flipped
You remained strong and reliable despite circumstances changing

But please come back
I'm still asking you to return to me

From the beginning we searched for the end
We always sought closure or resolution from the start

From the beginning once again
We're starting over and returning to the beginning

Somehow I know I'll find you there
I have faith that I'll reunite with you eventually

Wherever that may be
I don't know where it will happen, but I remain hopeful

Cut at the joint
I feel fragmented, as if I've been torn apart

I fall apart
I lose my composure and emotional stability
