Pearl Jam — History Never Repeats

History never repeats I tell myself before I go to sleep Don't say the words you might regret I lost before, you know I can't forget There was a girl I used to know Well, she dealt my love the savage blow I was so young, too blind to see But anyway, that's history And I say, history never repeats I tell myself before I go to sleep And there's a light shining in the dark Leading me on towards a change of heart You say I always play the fool I can't go on if that's the rule Better to jump than hesitate I need a change and I can't wait I say, history never repeats I tell myself before I go to sleep And there's a light shining in the dark Leading me on towards a change of heart Never repeats, whoa History never repeats History never re- Deep in the night it's all so clear I lie awake with great ideas Lurking about in no man's land I think at last I understand History never repeats I tell myself before I go to sleep And there's a light shining in the dark Leading me on towards a change of heart Yeah
