  • So, here I am once again, feeling no good
    I must be out of excuses, I knew I would
    Feels like it came out of nowhere this time
    Wish I had someone else to blame

    I tell myself I'm only human

    I know I, I said never again
    Temptation, feels like it never ends
    I'm sliding, powerless as I descend

    Back into my old ways again (ways again)
    Back into my old ways again
    Back into my old ways again (ways again)

    Thought I would never go back, but just this once
    A little present for holding out so long
    I could not bear the thought of it two days ago
    Don't think I would forgive myself

    I tell myself I'm only human

    I know I, I said never again
    Temptation, feels like it never ends
    I'm sliding, only noticing now and then

    Back into my old ways again (ways again, ways again)
    Back into my old ways again (ways again, ways again)
    Back into my old ways again

    I know what's comin', ain't so shockin'
    Always fuckin' up to somethin'
    Ego strummin', should be stoppin'
    Here goes nothing
    I know what's comin', ain't so shockin'
    Always fuckin' up to somethin'
    Story swappin', downhill sloping
    Barely coping
    I know what's comin', ain't so shockin' (I know it's)
    Always fuckin' up to somethin' (always)
    Ego strummin', should be stoppin' (déjà vu)
    Here goes nothing
    I know what's comin', ain't so shockin' (I know it)
    Always fuckin' up to somethin' (don't seem)
    Story swappin', downhill sloping (hard to do)
    Barely coping
    I know what's comin', ain't so shockin' (I know it's)
    Always fuckin' up to somethin' (always)
    Ego strummin', should be stoppin' (déjà vu)
    Here goes nothing (back into my old ways again)
    (I know it all seems hard to do)
    I know what's comin', ain't so shockin' (I know it)
    Always fuckin' up to somethin' (don't seem)
    Story swappin', downhill sloping (hard to do)
    Barely coping, I (back into my old ways again)

    I know I, I said never again
    Temptation, feels like it never ends
    I'm sliding, powerless as I descend

    Back into my old ways again
    Back into my old ways again (ways again, ways again)
    Back into my old ways again
    Back into my old ways again
    Back into my old ways again (ways again)
    Back into my old ways again Writer/s: Kevin Parker
