Song Description
Evocative, atmospheric pop-rock. Shades of Sarah McLachlan, Kate Bush, but "Again" is an original in its own right. Uses metaphor of hunting at night to explore idea of letting go. Unusual instrumentation evokes the hunt in the verse, leading to a hooky pop/rock chorus.

Lyrics
Again
The dogs are howling
Betrayal in the night
But who's the hunter
And who is taking flight?
The fever's up now
And blood is on the wind
Consumed by hunger
I'm burning in my skin
What am I doing?
(I dig my teeth in and I hold on tight)
Playing with fire
One more time
Just let it go, girl
Let it fade away
The ones you love
You cannot make them stay
Let it go, girl,
Learn to ride the wind
?Cause if you don't it's gonna break you
You gave no warning
So how could I steer clear?
Too late for running
Much too late for fear
What am I doing?
(I dig my teeth in and I hold on tight)
Playing the victim
One more time
I know the river keeps on flowing but I try to turn the tide
I'm terrified of time and I'd do anything
To have you back here by my side again
So I cling to what I cannot keep and I cry for what I cannot mend
When I should learn to bend like a reed in the breeze
and take it easy?
Just let it go, girl
Let it fade to black
The ones who leave
You cannot wish them back
Let it go, girl
Learn to ride the wind
If you don't it's gonna break you
Just let it go, girl
Let it fade away
The ones you love
You cannot make them stay
Let it go, girl
Learn to ride the wind
If you don't
It's gonna break you?
Again.
