Lyrics
Could you climb back into the womb?
Warm protection from the gloom.
Sometimes I wanta try
when this world makes me cry
But I?m just acting like a baby, hey.
Could you cut the tie that binds?
Hanging off me all the time.
Sometimes I wanta try
Cause you got me dangling over fire
But I?m just acting like a baby, hey.
(Chorus)
O I?m a born again contradiction
Just trying to explain my condition
But you can?t reinvent yourself
Anymore than you can reinvent the wheel
I am born again, I'm a born again contradiction.
Could you learn to walk again?
Two steps forward, without ever looking back again.
Not looking ahead or all around
But feeling my feet planted firmly on this solid ground
And not focused on the maybe, hey.
(Chorus)
I?m a born again contradiction
Just trying to escape my condition
But you can?t reinvent yourself
Anymore than you can reinvent the wheel
I am born again, I'm a born again contradiction.
I am born again, I'm a born again contradiction.
