Been Here Before Lyrics by Jeremy Enigk

World Waits

2006

[Verse 1]
Been here before
Though there's something in the air this time
Now I wanna give away what I've taken back
Run away with you toward the night, night, night

[Verse 2]
A thousand names
Though there's something in me, cannot smile
Don't wanna spend the day retracing steps
Run away with you toward the light

[Chorus]
I can't stay long
In the morning
Another one went wrong
It's okay
Now that you're gone
Only in your eyes a sudden need denied
I sympathize

[Verse 3]
A diamond daze
A thousand strands of sunlight in her eyes
Now I wanna give away what I've taken back
Step away with you toward the night

[Chorus]
I can't stay long
In the morning
Another one went wrong
It's okay
Now that you're gone
Only in your eyes a sudden need denied
I sympathize

[Outro]
It's okay
Now that you're gone
Only in your eyes a sudden need denied
I empathize
It's okay
Now that you're gone
Hurry up and sleep, to the night you go
