Driving back from Halifax, I stopped out for a memory
I found waiting in front of me, more than I had assumed
Between me and the sun that day, making shadows on my face
Was an ageless and changeless place, and the music still played
And this old familiar song refrain, rang a bell but was not the same
I'm not gonna make those same mistakes, over and over again
I thought I heard that song before, when I swear I was walking on someone's door
I think snow will snow and rain will pour, if I hear that song again
Anyone seen Mary Lee? I heard myself ask the hotel clerk
He said fives when she gets off work, so I lay under a tree
My regrets fill up rubbish bins, all over this great big world
But Mary Lee's a dangerous girl, so I was tempted to leave
And this old familiar song refrain, rang a bell but was not the same
I'm not gonna make those same mistakes, over and over again
I thought I heard that song before, when I swear I was walking on someone's door
I think snow will snow and rain will pour, if I hear that song again
I came too close to turn around, she came so close her heart beat on my back
I said hey that's no way to act, let's not ruin things again
Hurt from cheating will never fade, these days I'm just not that strong
She wondered how I knew all along, but I never really knew till then
And this old familiar song refrain, rang a bell but was not the same
I'm not gonna make those same mistakes, over and over again
I thought I heard that song before, when I swear I was walking on someone's door
I think snow will snow and rain will pour, if I hear that song again
If I hear that song again, I'm never gonna hear that song again
