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
