Lyrics

The Same Things

He?s gonna need some luck but he doesn?t think he does
he thinks it?s all just a matter of time
he doesn?t know despair, he hasn?t met his share
but he sure will I'd bet my dime

I always like to see a good dream
in the eyes of another human being
that seems to cut through the bullshit
and all the material things of our time help redefine
what a mess we can be when we are full of it

Chorus 1
We all want the same things
but if we can?t agree will we get there at all?
and we all sometimes fit in the same shoes
no matter how strong sometimes we fall

Verse 2
He never needed much, now he needs someone to touch
some things we have are easy to abuse
I try to take a little more time
these days can peel your rind
just when you bet high you draw a deuce

So he steers his ship to sea, just when you think he?s free
pirate lightning rods pin him to the bone
guess nature?s shrewd as man
sometimes when it hits the fan
it?s the only true thing that you have ever known

Chorus 2

Bridge
and the hardest part of this
is the silence that keeps screaming aloud
fire on the horizon
do we have to blow up to speak out?

Chorus 3
