Wait, I'm not listening to you now
I wasn't listening to you then
And I know that nothing will be the same again
There's only so much I can handle
Only so much I can take
Before my knees start to buckle
And my arms start to shake

we been here before?
Will we be here again?
I don't know how much more of me you expect

Standing here right now
And I beg for you to let go
I dread the day you finally do
I fight for your attention
Too little too late or too much too soon
And how will this plague the time
We share from here on out
And how long will this taint
All these words spilling from my mouth

Have we been here before?
Will we be here again?
I don't know how much more of me you expect
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh

Standing here right now
Standing here right now, oh oh

Have we been here before?
Will we be here again?
I don't know how much more of me you expect

    I think this song is about how life is cyclical... how the same roles in your life are often played by different people at different times. I think he's singing for the people who have come and gone, and singing to the people who have yet to come.
