The Same Things - Jamie Cullum

In oversharing times

Under some weary skies

Forgotten how to try

Everything you say sounds like a lie

The fog that greets the man

As old as time began

Is no more clearer now

I think we understand even less somehow

The bottle green of the water on the streets

It’s climbing higher and higher in defeat

We never drown cause we keep kicking our feet

So rally all of your friends cause they’re your fleet

It’s just the same things that we don’t know

It’s just the same things, it’s the same things, it’s the same things

It’s just the same things that we don’t know

It’s just the same things, it’s the same things, it’s the same things

What is a truthful state

Is it one you create?

A boat you built for sea

All you need now is some company

I no longer share my bed

With anyone who said

«So I enjoyed your show

Now you can tell me where you want to go»

I wish the chaos could swirl right out of me

So who’s cut out for this world that you can see?

If I was trying I’d never make the team

Just making peace with my fickle hopes and dreams

It’s just the same things that I don’t know

It’s just the same things, it’s the same things, it’s just the same things

It’s just the same things that I don’t know

It’s just the same things, it’s the same things, it’s the same things

You paint the picture of future memories

Then mod a fire with sticks and dirty leaves

So grab a hold of the only one who sees

And see it clearly you’re never gonna be

It’s just the same things that I don’t know

It’s just the same things, it’s the same things, it’s just the same things

It’s just the same things that I don’t know

It’s just the same things, it’s the same things, it’s the same things

It’s just the same things, oh

It’s just the same things, it’s the same things, it’s the same things

It’s just the same things, just the same things, just the same things

It’s just the same things that we don’t know

It’s just the same things, it’s the same things, it’s the same things
