Echo

Put down your things and rest a while

You know we've both nowhere to go

Yeah, Daddy had to crash

He's 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

And with a box of pills and you

Yeah and I'm going to keep my head

I'm going to 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

Oh 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

And I don't want to tempt you to be true

It's the same sad echo coming down

It's the same sad echo all around in my ears

It's the same as the same sad echo around here
