Here We Go Again
Sweet Talker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's whiskey in my aching bones, heaven only knows I can't keep up at all
Sleeping next to the phone, it's never pretty
Looks like you got the best of me, maybe the fool in me
but I'm waking up
All the time that you wasted, I was saving it all
Running down a lonely road, here we go, here we go again
Was it love we were making, or have you traded it all
Every stone that you throw was never worth it
I'm not the man i used to be, no I could never be, look how far I've come
From those rocky roads to rainy cities
Back into the desert then, into the ancients den, every place I call home
All the time that you wasted, I was saving it all
Running down a lonely road, here we go here we go again
Was it love we were making, or have you traded it all,
Running in at out the door, here we go, here we go
hey-ye All the time that you wasted, i was saving it all
Running down a lonely road, here we go here we go again
Was it love we were making, or have you traded it all,
Running in at out that door here we go here we go again
Was it love we were making, or have you traded it all?
Running in and out that door, here we go, here we go again
The first line "When the lights go down in the city" sets a dark and moody tone for the rest of the song. The imagery of whiskey in the singer's "aching bones" suggests a sense of pain and exhaustion. The line "heaven only knows I can't keep up at all" further emphasizes the singer's struggle and sense of defeat. The reference to sleeping next to the phone suggests an eagerness for communication and connection, which may not have been reciprocated. The line "looks like you got the best of me" suggests a past relationship in which the singer may have been taken advantage of or betrayed. However, the singer is "waking up" and moving on from this experience.
The chorus repeats the lines "Running down a lonely road, here we go, here we go again / Was it love we were making, or have you traded it all / Running in and out that door, here we go, here we go again." These lines suggest a cycle of emotional turmoil and instability in the singer's past relationship. The use of "lonely road" and "running" imagery further emphasize the sense of struggle and exhaustion. The question of whether or not they were truly in love or if something was traded suggests a sense of betrayal or deceit.
Overall, the song Here We Go Again seems to be about a past relationship in which the singer experienced pain, betrayal, and exhaustion. The imagery suggests a sense of darkness and struggle, but the repeated chorus lines suggest a determination to move on and break free from the cycle of emotional turmoil.

there's whiskey in my aching bones, heaven only knows I can't keep up at all.
Sleeping next to the phone, it's never pretty.
Looks like you go the best of me, maybe the fool in me, but I'm waking up.
All the time that you wasted, I was saving it all.
Running down a lonely road, here we go, here we go again.
Was it love we were making, or have you traded it all?
Running in and out that door, here we go, here we go again.
Every stone that you throw, was never worth it.
I'm not the man I used to be, no I could never be, look how far I've come.
From those rocky roads, to rainy cities, back into the desert then into the angel's den, every place I call home.

All the time that you wasted,
I was saving it all.
Running down a lonely road.
Here we go, here we go again.
Was it love we were making,
Or have you traded it all?
Running in and out the door.
Here we go, here we go again.
Still love it! <3

@7clouds

@coylondon8599
Why do a lot of account pictures have the circle with the four dots to the right and an emblem in the center? Just like the one you have? Where do they get them?
@selGdemparamtwilight
IIn SSyNc ...a bit late to the party aren't we.
@coylondon8599
Apparently so...
@hunterstory7
IIn SSyNc The circle with dots represents a group on youtube that distributes electronic music (sheep, monstercat, etc). A lot of people like to dress up and make their own picture and play pretend for some reason.
@Themannemannen
Always
