The Same

Looking out over the city

All the streets they look so busy

Out of millions

I'm here thinking about you

Maybe it's the lights making me

Feel this way tonight

Or just the fact you used to look at this same view

But oh oh oh

Nothing's changed

After all you're still the same

But oh oh oh

If I changed

Was less familiar would you stay

If I was less of a fool

If I hadn't admitted myself to you

And if you never knew

How crazy and frustrating I am

Hard to be around somedays

If I had only known I'd fall for you

I'd fall for you

Watching all the ones I envy

How they turn and run so pretty

Still I can't give you

The chase you've given me

Now it's all out on the table

You can run willing and able

But you know this secret that I keep

And you don't leave

But I'd rather watch you struggle

Than watch you pretend you're humble

You know how hard it is for me

To hear you call me friend

But oh oh oh

Nothing's changed

After all you're still the same

But oh oh oh

If I changed

Was less familiar would you stay

If I was less of a fool

If I hadn't admitted myself to you

What would you do if you never knew

How crazy and frustrating I am

Hard to be around somedays

If I had only known I'd fall for you

Oh what I would do

You're like a flower to me

And when you're here blossoming

I take what I can get

Cause you'll soon fall away

And I see the leaves are changing

I'll never be like home to you

But I'll still watch you go as you fade

And I will pray

That someday

I'll be less of a fool

Next time around

I won't reveal so much of this to you

Tell me now

If you never knew me in this way

How crazy and frustrating I am

Hard to be around you these days

I wish I had known I'd fall for you

Cause if I'd only known I'd fall for you

Then I'd be less of a fool

If I had only known I'd fall for you

I'd fall for you
