Just The Same

(album: Patty Griffin - 2019)

Nothing could ever make me love you less
Though I confess I've tried and I've wished I could
We weren't the worst and we weren't the best
But just beneath it all, maybe a little good
A million words that lost their way
Desperate to climb the silent walls
To touch the heart of something true
And say we're just the same after all
Maybe we're just the same after all

Crawling out of the wilderness
It's just the wild heart's all we got left
We're just as lost as we were before
With a desperateness that's hard to ignore
I can't decide which scares me more
The iron will or the lonely call
Or the feeling that we've been here before
And that we're just the same after all
Yeah, that we're just the same after all

Nothing could ever make me love you less
Though I confess I've tried and I've wished I could
Made of stardust and loneliness
And so many things I've never understood
I told myself we were not the same
That I would rise and rise and never fall
I told myself we were not the same
But we were just the same after all
Yeah, we were just the same after all
