Not The Same

[Verse 1]
I'm in Joshua Tree tryna find a new me
I'll admit I haven't really been myself too much lately
In the place where I live, I can't walk down the street
I'm reminded of you through the places we'd eat
Say you want your distance, you say you need your space
But maybe it's the distance that's been pushing us away
Everything here just reminds me of how much has changed
Now I can't stay

[Chorus]
When the lights go down in your city tonight
I hope you think of me like I think of you
When the lights go down in your city tonight
I hope you think of me like I dream you do
I've been skipping town, I had to get away from us
I'vе been meeting different girls, I've been trying diffеrent drugs
But it's not, oh it's not
It's not the same, it's not the same

[Verse 2]
I'll be in Nashville next week, my best friend's getting married
I've been getting older and life it's getting scary
I'd love to show you this car I just bought
We'd hit the 101 and we'd just drop the top
Wish that I could find the words to right all of my wrongs
But time keeps moving forward, it shows me what's gone
The last girl I ghosted still haunts me
I liked her but I just wasn't ready to move on

[Chorus]
When the lights go down in your city tonight
I hope you think of me like I think of you
When the lights go down in your city tonight
I hope you think of me like I dream you do
I've been skipping town, I had to get away from us
I've been meeting different girls, I've been trying different drugs
But it's not, oh it's not
It's not the same, it's not the same

[Verse 3]
I'll be in Phoenix next month, my friend Cam's turning thirty
Damn it just hit me, soon I will be too
I like that city yeah the view it's real pretty
Something's still missing, won't be there with you
