  • There you go again
    Putting words into my mouth
    This one's for you to know
    And for me to find out

    All that trouble, and you on about
    How you gonna know, 'til you hear it out loud
    Stop, ask myself what did I do?
    What did I do to deserve you?
    Come on, tell me now what did I do?
    What did I do to deserve you?

    I heard every word comin' from the 13th floor
    Your song came along
    And I heard the voices telling me to save yourself
    I'll behave yourself

    I stop, ask myself what did I do?
    What can I do to preserve you?
    Come on, tell me now, what can I do?
    What can I do to conserve you?

    Your name, year of fame
    I could see the writing on the wall
    Come on, flip a coin, bet it's going to tell you
    To save yourself, I'll behave yourself

    Your man, channelin', knowin' by the X on his hand
    You raise, runaways singin' at the gate
    To save yourself, I'll behave yourself

    So here I go again
    Putting words into your mouth
    This one's for me to know
    And for you to find out

    All that trouble and I'm on about
    How you gonna know, til you hear it out loud
    All of your heroes, where are they now?

    I'm lost, deliver me
    I crossed the river finally
    God as my witness
    Yeah, it's gonna heal my soul tonight
    God as my witness
    Yeah, it's gonna heal my soul tonight
    God as my witness
    Yeah, it's gonna heal my soul tonight

    God as my witness
    Yeah, you gonna heal my soul tonight
    God as my witness
    Yeah, you gonna heal my soul tonight Writer/s: Chris Shiflett, David Grohl, Georg Ruthenberg, Nate Mendel, Oliver Taylor Hawkins
