Again and Again

ONCE YOU TAKE YOUR LIFE 
IN YOUR OWN HAND(S)
THERE IS NOT MUCH ELSE 
YOU CAN DO 
BUT PLAY WITH IT 
AGAIN AND AGAIN

SHAKE IT 
JIGGLE IT 
WHEN YOU ARE DOWN 
SLAP IT HARD AND 
BRING YOURSELF BACK TO LIFE

WHEN YOU THINK 
IT’S OVER
REST 
TAKE A DEEP BREATH
AND START ALL OVER 
AGAIN 

ONCE YOU TAKE YOUR LIFE 
IN YOUR OWN HAND(S)
THERE IS NOT MUCH ELSE 
YOU CAN DO 
BUT PLAY WITH IT 
AGAIN AND AGAIN

WHEN YOU THINK 
IT’S OVER
REST 
TAKE A PILL
AND START ALL OVER 
AGAIN
