Again
Jose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ah yeah
Let's ride
Over the hills in the night
The sky won't give us its light
But the fire we lit is still bright

Sparks jump off and they fly
To light up the world if they try
Let the flame soar as high as it might

Ignited when when we were friends
We found it where the world ends
I'm sorry I walked away from it's warmth but now

Let's do it again
Let's do it again
Let's do it again
You got a hundred reasons to turn away but then...

Like a shelf too high on the wall
You gotta catch the face when it falls
And if it breaks you got to glue it back together

Let's do it again
Let's do it again
Let's do it again
Don't turn away my friend

Let's do it again
Let's do it again
Let's do it again
The blade of grass don't crack, it bends
I got so many reasons to walk away but then...

Don't turn away
Or is it just a game?

Let's do it again
Let's do it again
Let's do it again
Turn around and find your friend

Let's do it again
Let's do it again
Let's do it again
We both got a heart to mend

I got a solid hunch
A' who loves you a bunch
He's got a hand to hold and a face to punch
Let's ride

Over the hills in the night
Sky won't give us its light
Like a shelf too high on the wall




You gotta catch the face when it falls
You gotta catch the vase when it falls

Overall Meaning

These lyrics speak to the idea of rekindling a lost friendship. The singer is urging their friend (or possibly a former romantic partner) to come back and rebuild what they had before. They describe the relationship as a fire that they started together, and while the sky may have gone dark, the flames are still burning brightly. The sparks are symbolic of the hope that this reunion can bring, and the idea that their relationship could light up the world if they let it.


The second verse is about the idea of fixing something that may be broken. They compare it to catching a face, or a vase, before it falls and shatters. They are acknowledging that their friendship has been damaged, but they are willing to put in the work to repair it. The singer admits that there are a hundred reasons to turn away, but ultimately they're asking their friend to give it another try.


The chorus "Let's do it again" is a simple but effective plea to start over. The repetition drives home the point that they mean what they're saying, and they truly want to rebuild their friendship. The final lines of the song emphasize that they both have work to do, but together they can strengthen each other and face whatever the future holds.

Very nice song.

Loida Maximo

A very sentimental song that pierces thoroughly right at the middle of your heart and hauntingly beautiful. The lyrics are heartachingly begging for another chance to reconcile the fault and seeking for lover's forgiveness. This Jose Mari Chan' s song is a heartwarming piece and yes true love is always forgiving and consoling and patient and endearing and so on...😍😍😍😍

Yun sanang may maibabalik pa? Yun sanang mabigyan ka pa ng chance dahil mahal mo pa siya?
Isang gamble to both of you.
And hwne that second time comes around, itodo nyo na ang care respect and pagmamahalan.
Its not complicated and hard when you pursue the truest love. Yun wala nang sumabatan.
