the same

if i had my way today, everything would be the same.
i couldn’t change it anyway, but i’d keep it all the same.

heavy days i hope for rain, when all my life sticks to my skin
and the sun makes me complain, still i love the state i’m in

now if i say something bad tell me to shut my mouth
cuz you know how i feel now, no matter what i say
my tongue knows a lot of words, but they don’t know me well
i don’t know them well at all, but i don’t need to now.

today i look like a stone, heating up and sitting still
and today’s like yesterday, i paint it on me and it rubs away.

i feel heart between the bones, not like what i thought it was
beating out a little home, growing up and getting strong

(sit out on the second floor, think about what got me there
with this song coming out my ears, wondering what got me here.)

now if i say something bad tell me to shut my mouth
cuz you know how i feel now, no matter what i say
my tongue knows a lot of words, but they don’t know me well
i don’t know them well at all, but i don’t need to now
i don’t need to.

i thought this would come out all wrong, but i guess it came out all right
i thought this would come out all wrong, but it looks all right tonight.
