Barenaked Ladies - Here Before lyrics

[Barenaked Ladies - Here Before lyrics]

Try putting on a brave face
While everything is giving way
Night can undercut riverbank knowing that
You might go swimming
But it doesn't matter anyway

Try to look at my reflection
You see it's getting bigger fast
By the time, it looks life size I'll be
Soaking wet wondering how
I ended up on my ass

And I've been here before
And I don't mean to go back anymore
I've been here before
And I don't need to go back anymore

I'm thought of moving on the wrong side
But maybe it's the wrong bed
You can get tangled up and be
Arrested trying landing on your feet
And still wind up landing on your head

So when you try to make, it look good
Like it was what you wanted all along
Never thought you would wind up
Finding out nothing was quite
As you took for granted all along

And I've been here before
And I don't mean to go back anymore
I've been here before
And I don't need to go back anymore

Why would I fall back into this shit-storm?
I mean, what went wrong?
Why would I get it all over me?
Maybe I'll squeeze back into this suit
I paid way too much for
'Cos you can feel bad these days for free!

And I've been here before
And I don't mean to go back anymore
I've been here before
And I don't need to go back anymore

I've been here before i've been here before
I've been here before
Don't need to go back anymore
I've been here before i've been here before
And I don't need to go back anymore
'Cos I've been here before
