SAME OLD SONG (cowriter: Alan Turnbaugh)

Feelin' alone, even when I'm with my friends
Seems we can talk all night and still not send a message
Between our hearts
It used to be different
But we've built a wall too high to climb and too wide
To get around this time
So I laid it on the line

Now I'm stuck in the same old song, of one I used to love
Of a broken heart cryin' for what is lost
The stars are always crossed
And it seems our souls are made for aching
And our hearts are made for breaking
And our feet are made for walkin' to the grave
Day by day

But I'll stop and smell the roses on the way
And laugh at how funny it is to repeat the same cliche
And I will keep on keepin' on even though  I don't know why
Singing the same old song

Maybe it's because this is paradise when you love another soul
When you can open your heart and let down your guard and quit playin' the role
And stop being so strong
Don't even worry about being wrong
'Cause learning to love is all a man can do
What about you?
Will you come along, and walk with me for awhile

And we'll stop and smell the roses on the way
And laugh at how funny it is to repeat the same cliche
And we'll keep on keepin' on even though  I don't know why
Singing the same old song
