Same Old You

I'm checking in

To get a pulse for who I am

And the shape I'm in

I'm driving east in my Sedan

Counting the days I've been out on my own

Freeway lines blend in with dial tones

You swear I changed

You can't relax, our photographs don't look the same

But it's hard to laugh when every joke feels out of place

So we just stop and stare

Wondering how the hell'd we end up here

And now I see

I can't bend into the shape you need

Cause I'm the same old me

And you're the same old you

It took a couple try's to realize no matter what

There's nothing we could really do

Cause I'm the same old me

It's been three weeks

Coping with self help books and bottle therapy

And Visine only hides so much when I smoke ****

I don't go out these days

Cause everybody has something to say

And I think we both know

We'd be better off if we let go

Cause I'm the same old me

And you're the same old you

Took a couple tries to realize no matter what

There's nothing we could really do

Oh I'm the midnight oil

And you're the ocean deep

There's nothing left to prove

We couldn't make the mountains move

Cause I'm the same old me

And you're the same old you

I dropped a few things off last night

I'd stick around but I hate small talk and loose ends

And long goodbyes

Ya I'm the same old me

And you're the same old you

It took a couple tries to realize no matter what

There's nothing we could really do

So let the curtains fall ahh)

And let the credits roll ahh)

I hope you win more than you lose ahh)

Take in the million dollar views

And know there's nothing I would change ahh)

So stay the same old you

And to yourself be true

Oh stay the same old you
