Exactly The Same Lyrics

The day you left is the day i stayed

I still remember when you drove away

I stared at the empty road and wondered how i'd spend my days

But pretty soon the days turned to weeks

And i spent every week doing nothing at all

And when the weeks turned to months, a year went by before it was even fall

(multiple tracks of mumbling)

If i died tomorrow, would i have wasted my life?

Is the whole point of life just to survive?

Should you work in misery for months on end, just to build for a future that may never arrive?

Day in, day out, i'm drenched in doubt

Day out, day in, i'm bathed in sin

Old frown, worn down, and thread-bare

Don't worry i'm hangin' in there

My baby came home today

Asked to see how everything had changed

I didn't have the heart to say

Everything around here is exactly the same

As it was when you left last year

I tried to get anywhere but here, but couldn't leave the pier
