"Same Old Story" lyrics

Same old story, you've heard a hundred times
You know the punchlines
An allegory for what you couldn't find
To help you unwind

A little lifted, a little too high
Maybe love is a way to kill time

Same old story you told me yesterday
It ends the same way
Purgatory, and nothing new to say
Are you still okay?

A little lonely, a little wasted
You think you know me, and I wish you did

Same old story about a haunted house
We had to burn down
Did I get boring? Or did I wear you out?
It's a nice couch

The roof starts leaking, mouth gets too dry
I know you're leaving, and I don't care why

Just be careful what you wish for
It's controversial, but I'm still yours
Just be careful what you wish for
It's controversial, but I'm still yours
