'IT'S ALL BEEN DONE BEFORE'

I've been restless for sometime... No use trying to deny
I wish these hands of mine could fly... and write a song to reach the sky

Send it whirling on the wind... where it ends, where it begins...
We may never really know!

I'm always searching for a rhyme in the corners of my mind though it seems like I'm just wasting time...
When it's finally coming true it always seems like deja vu 'cause I know it's all been (all been done before! )

I WANT TO SHOUT A MESSAGE OUT
TRY TO STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD
POUR MY HEART OUT ON A PAGE
BUT I FEAR IT'S ALL BEEN DONE BEFORE

I'M RUNNING OUT OF THINGS TO SAY
I'LL LIVE TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY
THE FEELING'S FINALLY SINKING IN
THAT IT'S ALL BEEN DONE BEFORE


I try explaining to myself ... the meaning of true love and wealth
The remedy's always the same... I just don't care for all that fame

Just want to write a simple song... feel I finally belong
the endless stream... The Bridge of Sighs...
I slowly go insane!

I WANT TO SHOUT A MESSAGE OUT
TRY TO STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD
POUR MY HEART OUT ON A PAGE
BUT I FEAR IT'S ALL BEEN DONE BEFORE

I'M RUNNING OUT OF THINGS TO SAY
I'LL LIVE TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY
THE FEELING'S FINALLY SINKING IN
THAT IT'S ALL BEEN DONE BEFORE

Still, I keep on trying...
Burning the midnight oil...
Searching for my reason to be!

(Repeat Chorus & Fade)
