Lyrics

Here I go again
Right on cue
Trying to change the plan
Without a clue

For so many years
I've been back on my heels.
Hiding behind "maybe"
When "yes" could've been real

Like yesterday
It's the same old story
No matter what I say
I never change

Another day older
Another chance to bail
Now I'm caught behind the eight ball
Up against the rail

Tried to run the table
Chasing the rain
Spent a whole lifetime
Playing the game

You know the solids and stripes
Never feel the slate
But when the cue ball strikes
It's always too late

For too many years
I've been back on my heels
Waiting for "someday"
When "today" was ideal

Like yesterday
It's the same old story
No matter what I say
I never change

Another year older
Another chance to bale
Trapped behind the eight ball
Up against the rail

It only takes
One day
To finally say
Past ways
Have to change

No more illusion
See it through this time
No more excuses
It's time to shine

It's a brand new day
It's not the same old story
I'll find a way
This time I'll change

Another year older
It's time to break the trend
Sink the eight ball
And rack 'em up again

It's a brand new day
I'll rewrite the story
I've got a lot to say
It's time to change

Another year older
I will prevail
Time to sink the eight ball
And jump the rail
