Original Doug Heyes lyrics · AI-generated music & vocals
Having left Los Angeles, the narrator finds himself caught in another repetitive life beside a California bay. Rehearsed routines, slowing time and approaching weather make each day feel like the last. The hoped-for escape has become a different form of confinement, leaving him questioning both the place he chose and the pattern he carries.

Lyrics
Words by Douglas Heyes Jr
Wherever I go It’s the same old show I might be saying something That you already know If there’s no time to question why Why do days keep flying by I can’t even blink my eye And another day's gone by Oh yeah Another day’s gone by Try to smile it could be worse Second verse same as the first Every move always rehearsed Is this a blessing or a curse There’s a rhythm to it all like a bouncing basketball like footsteps down the hall Like rats inside the wall Clickety clack like a machine Lubricate with Vaseline Churnin’ out the copies Burnin Up the poppies It's another Groundhog Day In a city by a bay Somewhere in California Way North of LA It’s turned Into what I fear All alone and no one here Misty mornings, never clear Lord, please get Me out of here CHORUS: I can see the seagulls flying High above the Bay I can hear the children crying Cuz they can't come out to play Man, sometimes I really wish I’d never left LA I went away, I couldn’t face Another Groundhog Day I smoke one in the morning before I’m out of bed before I have my coffee you can give me up for Weather’s got a warning that a storm is on the way Batten down the hatches for another Groundhog Day Time is really slowing down sometimes right down to a crawl Times I stop and wonder if there’s any time at all Maybe we just made it up think I’ll have a second cup I can hear the waves roll in A rhythm as the day begins Here I am again another castaway I lost almost everything before I left LA A holiday a getaway a way to find another way A sacrifice a price to pay it’s just another Groundhog Day CHORUS: I can see the seagulls flying High above the Bay I can hear the children crying Cuz they can't come out to play Man, sometimes I really wish I’d never left LA I went away, I couldn’t face Another Groundhog Day
