Story Behind the Song
"Again" has a groovier feel than the rest and is an acoustic guitar based song. It was written on acoustic guitar and originally had a folky feel. But with the addition of a band, the song has a more rhythmic feel.
Originally, "Again" was about the period after a breakup with a loved one. But Mark changed the lyrics later on to fit into the story because he felt the song served a better purpose as part of the story.
Three acoustic guitars were recorded for "Again." One regular, another capoed at the second fret, and another capoed at the fifth. It has a bigger sound because of all the guitars playing.
Lyrics
The day .. oh it is winding,
the sun sure didn't mean to cry.
It don't know, just don't know,
he's feeling fine,
she won't wait anymore.
Foolish wanderings stealing all his time,
Moonlight brightens up his way;
There she's flying, whispering to the moon,
Angel tried to make it safe.
Oh..he's falling back again, just to return.
Night sky curtain, almost time to go,
He needs just another taste.
Hears her calling, the cup is soon to fade,
Inside, walls begin to break;
Oh..he's falling back again, just to return.
He's given all the reasons,
it's just another taste,
Please take back the grievance,
The cup is soon to fade.
Just fall back in my arms again.
