Put down your things and rest awhile   You know we've both nowhere to go   Yeah, daddy had to crash   He was 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   With a box of pills and you   Yeah, and I'm gonna keep my head    I'm gonna 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      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   I don't want to tempt you to be true      It's the same sad echo comin' down   It's the same sad echo all around in my ears   It's the same as the same sad echo around here
