Lyrics We've Been Here Before - The New Pornographers

We've Been Here Before

Here is the quick rundown
We’ve been here before
It’s best not to wander far
'Cause we’ve been here before
We couldn’t find a way out
When we were here the first time
Now it’s lines we’re leaving behind
Lines we’re leaving behind
Didn’t choose what we mean
Just go along with what’s played
There were rules once back when
There should be rules again
Here is the quick rundown
We’ve been here before
It’s best not to wander far
'Cause we’ve been here before
And we couldn’t find a way out
When we were here the first time
Now it’s lines we’re leaving behind
Lines we’re leaving behind
And oh, to leave them behind
And gold to trade for my life
Where we end up again
The gods of bad parties reign
Chased by invasion lights
'Round the same block again
So here is the quick rundown
We’ve been here before
It’s best not to wander far
'Cause we’ve been here before
And we couldn’t find a way out
When we were here the first time
Now it’s lines we’re leaving behind
Lines we’re leaving behind
(Lines we’re leaving behind)
Now it’s lines we’re leaving behind
Lines we’re leaving behind
(Lines we’re leaving behind)
(Lines we’re leaving behind)
We’ve been here before
We’ve been here before
We’ve been here before
We’ve been here before
We’ve been here before
