Oh God, Here We Go Again
Follow This If You Can

That afternoon, we had a wonderful time
driving around, laughing, eating
parking...
loving.
But that evening, you called me
and you asked
"So what are we gonna do?"
I asked, "do?"
you said, "about us".

Oh God, here we go again.
I can't take this anymore.
You said you couldn't either
You need me more than you get me.
I need you less.

"Do I have to see you every day?", I asked
you said I didn't know what relationships are about.
I must not love you
I'd want to be with you all the time.
You said the ball is in my court.
I'm not ready to change.

You said the ball is in your court
and you'll make the decision.
I said, "what decision?"
You said, "about us"

Oh God, here we go again.

You said it's over, say it's over
you said you need closure.
Fine, it's closed.

You called back an hour later.
"So, what's up? Just called to see if you're okay."
Other than crazy, I'm doing fine.
You said, "okay, you're crazy
and we're back together and I don't want to see you today."

You called back a minute later.
"I'm quitting my job and you can tell the boss why"
oh why? because I fucked you up?
You said you were forewarned not to fall in love with me
and yes, I fucked you up.

You called back twenty minutes later
"I can't help wanting to be with you"
I'm ripping you apart
shit...fly free! Go to someone who can be
with you all the time.
You don't have to be mine.
You said you'd call me later.

You did.

"Why can't you be with me when I want to be with you?"
Why do you need me there all the time?
"It hurts to be without you"
You are hurting yourself, why?
"Because I love you."
I love you too
but you're the one who's flip-flopping, I'm not changing.
"Fine, I'm leaving."

You called back at 5 a.m.

Oh God, here we go again.
