Mild sexual innuendo, casual hookup themes, regret
These are the lyrics to 'Here It Goes Again' by OK Go. The song deals with a recurring, frustrating romantic pattern — likely a casual or on-again/off-again relationship. The line 'something simple, something sleazy / something inching past the edge of the reserve' carries mild sexual innuendo, suggesting a relationship that repeatedly crosses physical boundaries. The imagery of someone throwing on their clothes and leaving in the early hours (referencing a specific time — 'quarter to four') implies a casual sexual encounter or 'hookup' scenario. The reference to 'Surfer Rosa' (a Pixies album) adds a culturally specific but adult-toned atmosphere. There is mild use of 'Jesus' as an exclamation. Overall, the sexual undertones and themes of a recurring casual relationship push this into the parental guidance category, though the content is relatively mild and indirect.

It could be ten but then again I can't remember half an hour since a quarter to four Throw all on your clothes the second side of Surfer Rosa And you leave me with my jaw on the floor, hey! Oh, just when you think, you're in control Just when you think, you've got a hold Just when you get on a roll Oh, here it goes Here it goes Here it goes again Oh, here it goes again I should have known Should have known Should have known again But here it goes again Oh, oh, here it goes again Starts out easy, something simple, something sleazy Something inching past the edge of the reserve Now through the lines of the cheap venetian blinds Your car is pulling off of the curb, hey! Oh, just when you think, you're in control Just when you think, you've got a hold Just when you get on a roll Oh, here it goes Here it goes Here it goes again Oh, here it goes again I should have known Should have known Should have known again But here it goes again Oh, here it goes Oh, here it goes Oh, here it goes again Oh, oh, here it goes again Oh, oh Oh, here it goes* Yeah, oh, here it goes again Hey, hey Oh, here it goes Alright I guess there's got to be a break in the monotony But Jesus when it rains how it pours Throw on your clothes the second side of Surfer Rosa And you leave me Yeah you leave me Ah, Oh, here it goes Here it goes Here it goes again Oh, here it goes again I should have known Should have known Should have known again But here it goes again Oh, here it goes Oh, here it goes Oh, here it goes again I should have known I should have known But here it goes again Oh, here it Oh, here it Oh, here it Oh, here it Oh, here it goes again I should have I should have I should have I should have I should have known Oh, oh, yeah I should have known Oh, here it goes it again Oh, oh, here it goes it again
