lyrics

i still wear the same things
i still do the same things
i still like the same things
but i'm different

out here kissin' my friends
howlin' "everything ends"
kind of makin' amends
stayin' present

the only change i like is the kind that you dig for
under the cushions
the only place i hide is in plain sight
here, out in the open

'cause it's all the same refrain
stuck in an endless loop
you've only got yourself to blame
& i know it's true

despite all that went wrong
time keeps movin' along
& it'll make me real strong
if it doesn't kill me
sleepin' in my old room
i still dream about you
'cause of course i do
muscle memory

worried how i'll come across
if i just sing about loss
& how much everything costs
man, it's scary
but we've all been bereft
and you get what you get
it's a bummer
i'm left feelin' guilty

i held my breath & counted to ten
it didn't do a damn thing
i iced my hands & i called my friends
hung up before the first ring

'cause it's all the same refrain
stuck in an endless loop
you've only got yourself to blame
& i know it's true
so i guess i can't complain
(though i wanted to)
but it's all the goddamn same livin' without you
yeah, it's all the goddamn same livin' without you
it's all the goddamn same livin' without you

the only change i like is the kind that you dig for
under the cushions
