Again & Again - Keane

Was it all in real time

Or was it just in my mind?

Was I just a ghost passing through you?

Clinging to the wreckage

Till I got the message

Hanging at the edge of the room

Give me something that’s real

Give me half of your bitterest pill

Something from under the surface

You actually feel

We say these words again and again

But they still sound the same

It was in your eyes, in your eyes

They were just easy lies

The lightest words are heavy

And promises are easy

And no one’s ever happy or sad for very long

But just because I said it

It doesn’t mean I meant it

I guess that was the way all along

I’m just shaping the sound

I’m just turning the syllables round

Dipping my toe in the water

And watching you drown

We say these words again and again

But they still sound the same

It was in my eyes, in my eyes

They were just easy lies

And we’ve been a long time waiting

And it’s been a lifetime in the making

We said when you are alone and afraid

I will come to your aid

But was it just a dream, just a dream

Cause it was real to me

We say these words again and again

But they still sound the same

We say these words again and again

And again and again
