[Verse 1]

Seeking a summertime love

Just kick it on the low

And go with the vibe and flow

But we didn't know

What the light of day would show

Or if it was meant to grow

How we'd feel within

What we could claim or win

And why you kept that distance

Were your emotions sin?

I was afraid of what I was feelin'

Afraid that you'd take my heart and go stealin'

My pride, my soul

Now I know

Now I know


[Chorus]

'Cause we were too much the same

I didn't know who to blame

'Cause I didn't wanna change

We were too much the same

I didn't know who to blame

'Cause you weren't gonna change


[Verse 2]

Unfamiliar ways

They came down like rain

Things in myself I couldn't change

But if we coulda chilled and waited a while

But then ain't now

And shooting stars won't send us running

From each other, from ourselves

And when you got me open, you faked on me

Why'd you tell me that you love me

And then stray away

What you did that day

I promise I would never go waiting

For someone who couldn't grow and change


[Chorus]

'Cause we were too much the same

And I didn't know who to blame

'Cause I didn't wanna change

We were too much the same

I didn't know who to blame

'Cause you weren't gonna change


[Bridge]

But you can't get something for nothing

So what was mine

Sifted through like lost time

And unclaimed sands in a desert wind

With half my heart I took you in

So I can let you go


[Chorus]

'Cause we were too much the same

I didn't know who to blame

'Cause I didn't wanna change

We were too much the same (Too much)

I didn't know who to blame

'Cause you weren't gonna change


[Outro]

(Too much the same) We were too much the same

We were too much the same (I didn't know who to blame)

'Cause I didn't wanna change

I didn't know who to blame (We were too much the same)

'Cause you weren't gonna change

We were too much the same

And I was too young

We were too much the same

And it ain't your fault or mine

We were too much the same
