Again And Again
The Greatest Show on Earth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Memories that I should find
Breathing in softly to my mind
Gently fade away

Wasting the days that were all spent
Catching the sun for amusement
Lotting life run by
You thought you were a clever girl
You run around you wreck my world
Money isn't everything you can buy

Again and again I will love you yeah
Again and again I will love you

Times I spent asking questions
Seem to be lost in reflections
Answers never end

You thought you were a clever girl
You run around you wreck my world
Money isn't everything you can buy

Again and again I will love you yeah
Again and again I will love you

You thought you were a clever girl
You run around you're wrecking my world
Money isn't everything you can buy





Again and again I will love you yeah
Again and again I will love you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in "Again and Again" by The Greatest Show on Earth revolve around memories, lost time, and the power of love. The opening lines, "Memories that I should find, breathing in softly to my mind, gently fade away" suggests the fleeting nature of memories, alluding to the idea that time moves too fast and seems to slip away before one can capture it. The song's tone is introspective, reflecting on the past and the loss of time.


The second verse focuses on regret and the feeling of wasting time. The lines "Wasting the days that were all spent, catching the sun for amusement, lotting life run by" express a feeling of missed opportunities and wasted time. The emphasis on "catching the sun for amusement" suggests that the singer has been indulging in trivial pursuits, rather than focusing on what is truly important.
