And when I find myself
I find myself back where I started
I let the same mistakes make me again
Come from another place
Another chance to write the story
And every redrawn path leads back to the start
Such misplaced confidence
In my ability to learn from experience
Such humility
Against all the evidence of 50,000 years
The technology changed
But the principle's the same
The past as the draft for today
I get the narrative
What could possibly go wrong?
I thought as I strapped myself in
But the machine was so seductive
I've been round, I've been round I've lost count
I'm cycling time, changing lanes in my spiral
Each fix in the past, trips me up
The changes I make don't work out the way I'd intended
New problems to solve, dig me out from new holes
And I'm, and I'm getting nowhere slowly
I find myself back where I started
I let the same mistakes make me again
Come from another place
Another chance to write the story
And every redrawn path leads back to the start
Such misplaced confidence
In my ability to learn from experience
Such humility
Against all the evidence of 50,000 years
The technology changed
But the principle's the same
The past as the draft for today
I get the narrative
What could possibly go wrong?
I thought as I strapped myself in
But the machine was so seductive
I've been round, I've been round I've lost count
I'm cycling time, changing lanes in my spiral
Each fix in the past, trips me up
The changes I make don't work out the way I'd intended
New problems to solve, dig me out from new holes
And I'm, and I'm getting nowhere slowly
