| Put down your things and rest awhile | |
| You know we've both nowhere to go | |
| Yeah, daddy had to crash | |
| He was always halfway there you know | |
| And no, i don't pretend there's any more of that | |
| They say one day, you'll look up and laugh and hear | |
| The same sad echo when you walk | |
| Yeah, the same sad echo when you talk loud and clear | |
| It's the same as the same sad echo around here | |
| I promise you this winter | |
| I will worship you like gold | |
| And ride your train forever | |
| Electric fortunes to be told | |
| And i don't want to question or even celebrate | |
| All the joy you took and then gave back too late | |
| It's the same sad echo when you lie | |
| It's the same sad echo when you try to be clear | |
| It's the same as the same sad echo around here | |
| Well, i woke up right here | |
| In a pool of sweat | |
| With a box of pills and you | |
| Yeah, and i'm gonna keep my head | |
| I'm gonna keep my cool | |
| Oh, i'm so in love with you | |
| Yes and in another world nothing was like this | |
| There may have been a girl | |
| There never was a kiss | |
| The poison came in liquid | |
| She was naked all the time | |
| And no one could explain it | |
| It was all between the lines | |
| And i don't seem to trust anyone no more | |
| It could be faith i'm just not sure | |
| It's the same sad echo every day | |
| Yeah the same sad echo another way | |
| When you call | |
| It's the same as the same sad echo most of all | |
| Well you just got tired | |
| You just gave in | |
| You took it hard | |
| Then you just quit | |
| You let me down | |
| You dropped the ball | |
| You fell on your face most of all | |
| And i don't want to mean anything to you | |
| I don't want to tempt you to be true | |
| It's the same sad echo comin' down | |
| It's the same sad echo all around in my ears | |
| It's the same as the same sad echo around here |
