Here We Go Again
Norah Jones/Ray Charles featuring Norah Jones Lyrics

The lyrics of "Here We Go Again" by Norah Jones featuring M. Ward are about the never-ending cycle of getting back together with an ex-lover, despite knowing the inevitable heartbreak that will ensue. The first verse sets the scene, with Jones singing about the return of her former partner who she knows she will take back despite any past pain he caused her. The second verse is sung from the perspective of Ward, who describes the predictability of the situation - the phone will ring again and he'll once again be drawn back into the entanglement.

The chorus suggests a pessimistic view of the situation, with the repeated line "Here we go again" indicating a sense of resignation to their fate, but at the same time, they both know they will try again despite previous failures. The final verse is similar to the first, except Jones now takes on the role of the one doing the hurting, with Ward knowing he will play the part of the heartbroken fool once more. The song ends with Jones admitting that she will take him back one more time, acknowledging that the cycle is unlikely to change.

Overall, "Here We Go Again" is a melancholic yet relatable depiction of the human tendency to repeat patterns in relationships, even when they are not healthy or fulfilling.
