[Verse 1]
Sirens ringing out
There are ghosts over our city now
And I'm trying to work it out
'Cause I want you more than I want anything
I forget what came before
Can you help me fix this broken record?
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll hold the roof
You keep the walls from tumbling down
They're tumbling down
Tumbling down, tumbling down
[Chorus]
The past will come repeating
Over and over again
We're past the make believing
Over and over again
[Verse 2]
I could lose you in the dark
But I'd know your face in any crowd
There's a road that branches out
And I want to walk it more than anything
We've been here before
Can you help me fix this broken record?
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll watch the fire
You keep the wolves from coming in
They're coming in
They're coming in, they're coming in
[Chorus]
The past will come repeating
Over and over again
We're past the make believing
Over and over again
[Bridge]
Hold fast
Breathe out
Steady as we go
[Chorus]
The past will come repeating
Over and over again
We're past the make believing
Over and over again
The past will come repeating
Over and over again
