The Same Things lyrics - Jamie Cullum

In oversharing times
Under some weary skies
Forgotten how to try
Everything you say sounds like a lie

The fog that greets the man
As old as time began
Is no more clearer now
I think we understand even less somehow

The bottle green of the water on the streets
It's climbing higher and higher in defeat
We never drown cause we keep kicking our feet
So rally all of your friends cause they're your fleet

It's just the same things that we don't know
It's just the same things, it's the same things, it's the same things
It's just the same things that we don't know
It's just the same things, it's the same things, it's the same things

What is a truthful state
Is it one you create?
A boat you built for sea
All you need now is some company

I no longer share my bed
With anyone who said
"So I enjoyed your show
Now you can tell me where you want to go"

I wish the chaos could swirl right out of me
So who's cut out for this world that you can see?
If I was trying I'd never make the team
Just making peace with my fickle hopes and dreams

It's just the same things that I don't know
It's just the same things, it's the same things, it's just the same things
It's just the same things that I don't know
It's just the same things, it's the same things, it's the same things

You paint the picture of future memories
Then mod a fire with sticks and dirty leaves
So grab a hold of the only one who sees
And see it clearly you're never gonna be

It's just the same things that I don't know
It's just the same things, it's the same things, it's just the same things
It's just the same things that I don't know
It's just the same things, it's the same things, it's the same things
It's just the same things, oh
It's just the same things, it's the same things, it's the same things
It's just the same things, just the same things, just the same things
It's just the same things that we don't know
It's just the same things, it's the same things, it's the same things
