Same Old You
by Allie Lynn
Lyrics
Verse 1
You showed up in that old blue jacket
Frayed at the cuffs, same crooked grin
I laughed and said, "Well look who’s back"
Like all those years ain’t settled in
Verse 2
We talked about your mama’s garden
You asked if my dad still drinks too much
It felt like some small hometown Sunday
Till my heart tripped on your touch
Chorus
When did your hand
Start feeling like home in mine
When did your eyes
Turn from friendly to on-my-mind
You’re the same old you
But I’m seein’ somethin’ new
Guess I went and fell in love
With the boy I thought I knew
Verse 3
I still recall that high school prom
You fixed my strap, then walked away
You left with her, I cried alone
Said it was better off that way
Pre-Chorus
We’ve been each other’s constant
Through every broken, borrowed year
Now one small laugh in your kitchen light
And suddenly it’s crystal clear
Chorus
When did your hand
Start feeling like home in mine
When did your eyes
Turn from friendly to on-my-mind
You’re the same old you
But I’m seein’ somethin’ new
Guess I went and fell in love
With the boy I thought I knew
Bridge
Is it crazy if this ruins us
Or crazy if we never try
Your truck is waitin’ in my driveway
Say you’ll stay or say goodbye
Chorus
When did your hand
Start feeling like home in mine
When did your arms
Start wrapping ‘round my whole life
You’re the same old you
But I’m beggin’ for the truth
‘Cause I’m already in too deep
With the boy I thought I knew
Outro
Same old you
In that old blue jacket
And my heart, brand new
Every time you laugh at it
