Same Old News

(album: Obviously - 2021)

I just want to love you
I just want to try
I know we're the subject
Of a thousand prying eyes

I worry about the gossip
Do you think that we'll be fine?
There ain't no way to stop it
So I won't change my mind

I would run away with you
Any day
If we could
But I don't think that running anywhere
Would do us any good
We just keep on making

The same old news
People talk about us
But what would they do without us
It's the same old news
I just want to love you
But it's causing so much trouble

I guess it's the same old, same old news

I just want to love you
In some old fashion way
Instead we're picked apart
For everything we say

I would change my name for you
(What would you change it?)
To anything
For what it's worth

But I know that they'd find us anyway
At the corners of the earth
We just keep on making

The same old news
I'm feeling overtired
From being so hard wired
It's the same old news
Causing such a fuss
That they want to lock us up

Well ain't it a shame
The way they exclaim
Like being in love
Is something they want us to explain
But I guess it's the same old, same old news

Let's move onto an island
A million miles from shore
At least until (they build a tower)
Where there wasn't one before
We just keep on making

The same old news
People talk about us
But what would they do without us
It's the same old news
I just want to love you
But it's causing so much trouble
It's the same old news
Every time we kiss
I can hear them start to whisper:

They know all our secrets (Yes, they do)
And they know where we've been
They're inside our head
And underneath our skin, yeah
Oh, haven't you heard?
It's so absurd
Well, I think it's a waste
But it's still a basic human urge

To keep spreading the same old, same old
Same old, same old
Same old, same old news
