lyrics

Driveway, drive-by
Row of homes, single file
Soccer mom on the street
Soccer children at her feet
Necktie, cell phone
In a standard uniform
Still I don’t realize
That this is just a string of lies

I’ll jump the train, miss the bus
Tell you that I am full of us
This is strong, this is true
This is really overdue
I found my youth
Pacing in a storm
Playing checkers on a form
Now I won’t go back
I can’t stop, so you watch out

You say it’s for you
You have to let me try, let me
choose
You say it’s for you
You sing the same old song, on and on
You say it’s for you
The way you catch my eyes, hypnotize
You say it’s for you
I’m gonna make a change, anyhow

My life is prone to change
I overcame a sad truth
The worst things I can bring
Eternally comfort you
Don’t want to procrastinate
Just open up the floodgates
Step aside or follow suite
Is all that I can say to you

You walk the line only seeing what is on your mind
You play the game like a beeper on a keychain
Just wail out, scream and shout, that’s what it’s all about
I’ll wait for you if you just show me you can breakthrough

You’re the same, the same, the same (up and) change
It’s the same, the same, the same (up and) change
We’re the same, the same, the same (up and) change
It’s the same, the same, and the same all we really have is change

Even though it feels like a trial
We’ve been around for a little while
We know the signs of betrayal
And on the longest mile
We stand up, we stand tall,
And against it all
We try again (and again and a…)

We’re in the sand, in the sun,
As the world goes by
I’ll hold your hand, we are one,
As we start and try
To move on, to break free of the monotony
That holds us like a vice and squeezes ‘til we just let go
