Here We Go… Again
The Weeknd Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Strike a pose with my kinfolk
Front page of the billboards
Suit and tie and cigar smokes
Macallan shots 'til it burn throats
We still celebratin' Super Bowl
Catalog lookin' legendary
Ring froze like it's February
XO, that's a mercenary
A quarter bill' on an off year
Used to sing on lofts
But now we cruising on a yacht, we clear, yeah
Said you wanted your boyfriend jealous with a couple pics
And you didn't expect to fall for me once you got this dick
The city dark, city dangerous
Your girlfriend's tryna pair you with somebody more famous
But instead you ended up with someone so basic, faceless
Someone to take your pictures and frame it
And my new girl, she a movie star
My new girl, she a movie star
I loved her right, make her scream like Neve Campbell
But when I make her laugh, swear it cures my depressing thoughts
'Cause, baby girl, she a movie star
Baby girl, she a movie star
I told myself that I'd never fall
But here we go again

Ooh
Here we go again
Life's a dream
'Cause it's never what it seems
But you'd rather love and lost with tears
Than never love at all
So here we go again

Although this love is strong to me
Some things can change, go wrong with me
We don't know how it's gonna be
Forever is too long to me
We don't need the government involved because we like to touch
We don't need no damn religion tellin' us that we in love
But if we did crash down the road, spendin' lawyer fees up
Pen and pack gon' save my ass if these feelings freeze up
You gon' sign this prenup
You gon' sign this prenup
You gon' sign this prenup
You gon' sign this prenup

Ooh
Here we go again
Life's a dream
'Cause it's never what it seems
But you'd rather love and lost with tears
Than never love at all
So here we go again

But now we cruising on a yacht, we clear, yeah
Now that we're successful, we're living the high life and feeling great about it


Said you wanted your boyfriend jealous with a couple pics
You wanted to make your partner jealous with some pictures of us together


And you didn't expect to fall for me once you got this dick
You didn't plan on falling in love with me after sleeping together


The city dark, city dangerous
The city is filled with danger and risk


Your girlfriend's tryna pair you with somebody more famous
Your friends are trying to set you up with someone more famous


But instead you ended up with someone so basic, faceless
But instead you fell in love with someone who is just like you and not famous


Someone to take your pictures and frame it
Someone to take your photos and put them on display


And my new girl, she a movie star
My new partner is a well-known actress


I loved her right, make her scream like Neve Campbell
I treat her with love and make her happy, like Neve Campbell's famous scream in horror movies


But when I make her laugh, swear it cures my depressing thoughts
Making her laugh makes me forget my own negative thoughts and emotions


'Cause, baby girl, she a movie star
I feel lucky to have a partner who is so successful and famous


I told myself that I'd never fall
I swore to myself that I would never fall in love again


But here we go again
But despite my best efforts, I'm falling in love once more


Life's a dream
Life can be surreal and unpredictable


'Cause it's never what it seems
Life is full of surprises and unexpected situations


But you'd rather love and lost with tears
But it's worth taking a risk and loving, even if it ends in heartbreak


Than never love at all
Because love is one of life's greatest gifts and experiences


So here we go again
Starting the process of falling in love all over again


Although this love is strong to me
Even though I feel strongly about this love


Some things can change, go wrong with me
Things don't always go as planned and life can be unpredictable


We don't know how it's gonna be
We can't predict how things will turn out in the future


Forever is too long to me
The idea of forever is daunting and overwhelming


We don't need the government involved because we like to touch
We don't need government intervention in our relationship, we just enjoy being physically close


We don't need no damn religion tellin' us that we in love
We don't need religion to tell us that we're in love


But if we did crash down the road, spendin' lawyer fees up
If we end up breaking up, we'll be spending a lot of money on legal fees


Pen and pack gon' save my ass if these feelings freeze up
Having a written agreement will protect me if my feelings for you disappear


You gon' sign this prenup
I want you to sign a prenuptial agreement before we get married

@RatioFic

Hey man, I am a super fan of your music and went to your concert back when you visited Korea.

Love the whole album and all but this song tops the best and fills my heart with warmth.

I am going thru a very hard time with my loving wife. We are going thru a divorce and this song brings so much memories and strength to me. I thank you for this wonderful music.

Hope to see you again here in Korea. This time with my wife if we are still together.

Thanks,
