Same Old Blues

(Slow lo-fi hip-hop beat, deep bass, soft blues piano loop) [Intro — Together] (Male) Mmm… it’s the same old story… (Female) Yeah… same old song… (Both) Two hearts beating different time… But still holding on… [Verse 1 — Male] Walked the street where the lights go dim Carry weight that I can’t begin to tell them Every step heavy, yeah the pavement thin Trying to find the piece that I let slip away from They say time heals but time just runs Left me standing where the shadow comes Don’t know if I’m staying or if I’m gone Just know something’s missing when the day is done [Verse 1 — Female] I been sitting by the window watching rain fall down Counting seconds like they’re miles across the ground You keep walking like you got nowhere to turn But you never look around to see where I am Silence ain’t peace, it’s just a quiet fight We both here but we both alone tonight You keep reaching for something out of reach While the one you need is right within your grasp [Chorus — Both] (Male) Shadows fall and the blues come in (Female) Ain’t no dark that love can’t bend (Male) I got scars and I got pain (Female) I got hope and I got rain (Both) We don’t speak but we feel the same Two worlds burning in the same old flame (Male) Tell me will you stay? (Female) Tell me will you change? (Both) Cause we holding on to something we can’t name [Verse 2 — Male] See your face in the flicker of the lamp light Trying to find the words but they just don’t act right I built walls so high forgot what’s behind them Now I’m scared to break them down cause I might find them All the things I never said sitting heavy now Every I’m sorry stacked up like a mountain loud I don’t know how to fix what I didn’t know broke Just know I can’t do this if we stay this far apart [Verse 2 — Female] I been waiting on a promise that never comes Holding space where your heart should be from Love ain’t waiting at the end of the line It’s showing up when it’s hard to find I got strength but I got limits too Can’t keep loving for the both of us, it’s pulling me through You gotta meet me halfway, gotta lift your eyes Or we gonna fade away like smoke in the skies [Bridge — Together] (Male) I’m tired of running from what I can’t outrun (Female) I’m tired of waiting for what never comes (Male) Lay it all down, every heavy load (Female) Meet me where the light hits the road (Both) Not too late, not completely gone We can still make this right before the dawn [Chorus — Both] (Male) Shadows fall and the blues come in (Female) Ain’t no dark that love can’t bend (Male) I got scars and I got pain (Female) I got hope and I got rain (Both) We don’t speak but we feel the same Two worlds burning in the same old flame (Male) Tell me will you stay? (Female) Tell me will you change? (Both) Cause we holding on to something we can’t name [Outro — Together] (Male) Rain slowing down… (Female) Sky turning grey… (Male) I’m right here… (Female) I’m gonna stay… (Both) Same old blues… but we singing it together now… Yeah… together now…
