Tame Impala - My Old Ways Lyrics



Tame Impala - My Old Ways Lyrics
Official




So, here I am once again, feeling all blue
I must be out of excuses, 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 notice it 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 coming, it's so shocking
Always f*cking up with something
Ego's strumming, show be stopping
Here goes nothing
I know what's coming, it's so shocking
Always f*cking up with something
Slowly swapping down to stopping
Barely coping
I know what's coming, it's so shocking
Always f*cking up with something
Ego's strumming, show be stopping
Here goes nothing
I know what's coming, it's so shocking
Always f*cking up with something
Slowly swapping down to stopping
Barely coping
I know what's coming, it's so shocking
Always f*cking up with something
Ego's strumming, show be stopping
Here goes nothing (back to my old ways again)
I know what's coming, it's so shocking
Always f*cking up with something
Slowly swapping down to stopping
Barely coping, I (back to 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
