"The Same Boy You've Always Known" lyrics

You fell down, of course
And then you got up, of course
And started over
Forgot my name, of course
Then you started to remember

Pretty tough to think about
The beginning of December
Pretty tough to think about
Pretty tough to think about
Pretty tough to think about

You're looking down again
And then you look me over
We're laying down again
On a blanket in the clover

The same boy you've always known
Well, I guess I haven't grown
The same boy you've always known
Same boy you've always known

Think of what the past did
It could've lasted
So put it in your basket
I hope you know a strong man
Who can lend you a hand
Lowering my casket

I thought "This is just today
And soon you'd been returning"
The coldest blue ocean water
Cannot stop my heart and mind
From burning
Everyone who's in the know says
"That's exactly how it goes"

And if there's anything good about me
I'm the only one who knows
