"What It Was" lyrics

It is what it was
You think the past wouldn't ever come back
Here we go again
It is what it was
You'd think the party would be over by now
But it never ends
It is what it was
How long til we're tired of drawing circles
Ooh there's a fine line
It is what it was
You'd think by now we should've figured it out
But it's all the same

Why are we tracing
Over what we already know
Why do we pretend
That everything is under control
Why do we gate keep
Our information
Sift through the channels
Everyone's cancelled
I can't explain it
But it's feeling like we've been here before

I look up at those trees
With all that they've seen and I
Wonder if we could ever find peace
For all I know

It is what it was
You think the past wouldn't ever come back
Here we go again
It is what it was
You'd think the party would be over by now
But it never ends
It is what it was
How long til we're tired of drawing circles
Ooh there's a fine line
It is what it was
You'd think by now we should've figured it out
But it's all the same

Say what you want, say what you need
There's a world for you
Even in darkness every seed
Will become a tree
Come on, let's dance inside a sea
Full of harmony

Say what you want, say what you need
Say it honestly
Even in darkness every seed
Will become a tree
Come on, let's dance inside a sea
Full of harmony

It is what it was
You think the past wouldn't ever come back
Here we go again
It is what it was
You'd think the party would be over by now
But it never ends
