Lyrics - The Same Words Again

Track Listing    Listen/Download

The same words again
They come more slowly
and give me glimpses of the truth
you think that you can't show me
Oh it sounds convincing, quite convincing
But I think you like to pride yourself on that forte
It's far better than the chance of confusion

We're cut the same way
We still bleed the same way

The same words again
They come less slowly
But now they're further from the truth
That I think you owe me
There's no real difference
No real difference
But I think you need to hear yourself speak every word again and again
It's far better than the sin of commitment

We're cut the same way
do we lose the chance, pass us, miss the time to move this somewhere
We bleed the same way
still we believe we can stay safe this way
We say it, it comes out just like,

I don't need to tie myself to anything
I don't need to tie myself to anything
I don't need to tie myself to anything
I don't need, I don't need

The same words again
They come more calmly
And now they've shaped themselves to truth
And how is quite beyond me
Still it's not quite safe here, not quite safe here
But I think you have to say it to believe the word again and again
far better not to risk this contentment

We're cut the same way
do we lose the chance, pass us, miss the time to move this somewhere
We bleed the same way
still we believe we can stay safe this way
We say it, it comes out just like,

I don't need to tie myself to anything
I don't need to tie myself to anything
I don't need to tie myself to anything
I don't need, I don't need
