Again
Legend John Lyrics

First time we ever got a chance to be alone we knew
From the very first moment we were alone, we realized it was wrong, but still couldn't resist the temptation.

It was wrong to do
Despite knowing that being alone was wrong, we still pursued it.

I guess that's why I was drawn to you
Perhaps it was the common desire to break the rules that drew me towards you.

Second time leads to the third, the fifth, the seventh time
After the first time, we couldn't stop ourselves from repeating the same mistake over and over again.

I feel so alive, it won't last but it's alright
Even though it's just a fleeting moment of happiness, we feel alive and content.

Fleeting joy and faded ecstasy
The happiness we derive from being together is short-lived and eventually fades away.

Here goes again, sneaking fruit from the forbidden tree
We both know that being together is wrong, but we still can't resist the temptation.

Sweet taste of sin
Despite knowing the consequences, we still enjoy being together.

And I'm doing it again
I can't stop myself from repeating the same mistake.

Yes, I'm doing it again
Despite knowing the consequences, I can't resist the temptation.

Oh, I'm doing it again
I know it's wrong, but I'm still repeating the same mistake again.

I said it would end
I promised myself that it would end, but I can't seem to break the cycle.

But here it goes again
Despite all my promises, I can't resist the temptation to be with you again.

This time you told me you saw me at the same motel
You saw me at the same place where we first got together.

You said you knew me well, and I had that familiar smell
You feel like you know me too well, and can identify my presence anywhere.

Asked me, How am I ever going to learn to put my trust in you,
You question how you can trust someone who repeatedly breaks your trust.

'Cause I know what you're prone to do?
You know that I'm prone to repeating the same mistake over and over again.

Accusations fly like bullets do
Our conversations quickly turn into arguments, with accusations flying around.

Oh, you know me because you're doing it too
You also can't resist the temptation of being together and repeating the same mistake again and again.

Cycle never ends, it never ends
We seem to be stuck in a cycle of being together, breaking up, and getting back together again.

Damn, I love you, but this is crazy
Despite knowing that being together is wrong, I still love you and can't resist the temptation.

I have to fight you, almost daily
Our arguments and fights have become a daily routine.

We break up so fast and we, we make up so passionately
Our break-ups are short-lived, and we make up with even more intensity after each one.

Why can't we just trust each other?
We both know that trust is the foundation of any relationship, but we can't seem to trust each other.

You can't hate me and be my lover
We can't keep hating each other and still be in a relationship.

Passion ends, the pain begins
Our passionate moments eventually come to an end, and we're left with the pain and hurt we cause each other.

I come back, and we're doing it again
Despite all the pain and hurt we cause each other, I can't resist the temptation of being with you again.

Oh, I'm doing it again
I'm repeating the same mistake again.

Yes, I'm doing it again
Despite all my promises, I can't resist the temptation of being with you again.

Are you doing it again?
Are you also repeating the same mistake again?

We said it would end, but here it goes again and again and again
Despite all our promises and efforts to end the cycle, we keep repeating the same mistake again and again.

Each time you call me home in a sweet refrain
Every time you call me back, you use your sweet words to lure me in.

Saying things'll change, you'll take away the pain
You promise that things will be different this time, and that you'll take away all the pain and hurt that we've caused each other.

Then we flash back to the first time you put your spell on me
Our memories take us back to the very first time we were together, and how you enchanted me with your charm.

You envelop me, you feel good as hell to me
Being with you makes me feel good, despite knowing that it's wrong.

One moment leads to another few
One moment of being together leads to several more moments of repeating the same mistake.

Leaving you is oh so hard to do
Even though I know being with you is wrong, leaving you is still one of the hardest things to do.

I just can't pretend, can't pretend
I can't pretend that being with you is wrong, as it still feels so right.

Oh, I'm doing it again
Despite all my promises to end the cycle, I'm still repeating the same mistake again.

Yes, I'm doing it again
I can't resist the temptation of being with you again.

I said it would end
I promised myself that it would end, but I can't seem to break the cycle.

But here it goes again
Despite all my promises, I can't resist the temptation to be with you again.
