lyrics
Get off of my phone, and out of my mind, and into the city
Get away from the mist, the poisoned self-doubt and self-pity
Take a moment each minute to process and self-analyze
Take a pill, take a break, take a look into somebody’s eyes
Over, over and over again I think that I’ve found the ingredients
Over, over and over again, I make a plan and I promise obedience
Circling spiraling changing my mind
I’ve been through it all one billion times
The recipes change with my tastebuds
I never stop cooking
So I scrap my diet and restart the grind
I’ll do it another one billion times
The answers keep changing, because
I never stop looking
Over, over and over again I think that I’ve found the ingredients
Over, over and over again, I make a plan and I promise obedience
Read a book watch a show just escape into something that’s new
Stay inside trust your fear of connection don’t fight with the glue
Stay surrounded by people who understand all that you’re feeling
Stay surrounded by opposites, study their ways and start stealing
Over, over and over again I think that I’ve found the ingredients
Over, over and over again, I make a plan and I promise obedience
Over and over and over again
I think I’ve found something but the dream always ends, oh
Over, over and over again I’ll think that I’ve found the ingredients
(Over, over and over again)
Over, over and over again, I’ll make a plan & I’ll promise obedience
(Over, over and over again)
Over, over and over again I’ll think that I’ve found the ingredients
(Over, over and over again)
Over, over and over again, I’ll make a plan & I’ll promise obedience
(Over, over and over again)
Over, over and over again I’ll think that I’ve found the ingredients
Over, over and over again, I’ll make a plan & I’ll promise obedience
