Everything Old is New Again

Learn to lose
Its easier that way
Weve paid our dues
But we cant make life pay

All across the world, people going mad
In their mothers cars, kids are feeling sad
Thats how it is, and Ill see you later

Everything old is new again
Everything under the sun
Now that Im back with you again
We hug and we kiss
We sit and make lists
We drink and I bandage your wrists

Wasted youth there wasnt much to waste
Down to the bone and still losing weight
With all the wishing in the world glistening in her eyes
But when I say I love her, she thinks Im telling lies
Is it all lost no, we never had it

Everything old is new again
Everything under the sun
All of our fears come true again
Recycle reuse, resent and refuse
Our parents ideals and views

She thinks the afterlife might
Just be where the action is
With high schools built like prisons
She cant find a way to live

Moved back home to fill the empty nest
Afraid to roam in love with second best
Somewhere in the world, shes hosting her own show
And everyone she questions never seems to know
Who they are where they are going?

Everything old is new again
Everything under the sun
Now that Im without you again
I wake up and eat, I go back to sleep
And let my nightmares repeat

All across the world, people going mad
