Called my brother up the other day
He said, hey brother I got something to say
Don’t you think you’ve been here long enough
It’s time for you to move on
Called my brother up the other day
He said, hey brother I got something to say
Don’t you think you’ve been here long enough
It’s time for you to move on
They said it’s time to move on, but I’m not ready yet
They said it’s time to move on, but I still got a little bit left
I miss the way she combed her hair in the hallway mirror
I miss the smell of earl grey in the afternoon
I miss the way she was always laughing at me
And the way that laugh would ring
She said as she was lying there
She said, I’m done lying here, it’s time for me to leave
When I am gone from here
I want you to move on
She said as she was lying there
She said, I’m done lying here, it’s time for me to leave
When I am gone from here
I want you to move on
She said it’s time to move on, but I’m not ready yet
She said it’s time to move on, but I still got a little bit left
I miss the way she combed her hair in the hallway mirror
I miss the smell of earl grey in the afternoon
I miss the way she was always laughing at me
And the way that laugh would ring
I said to myself, I says self
Don’t you think it’s time to be moving on
There’s so much that we wanted to see
There’s so much that we wanted to do
I said to myself, I says self
Don’t you think it’s time to be moving on
There’s so much that we wanted to see
There’s so much I wanted to do
I guess it’s time to move on, but I’m not ready yet
I guess it’s time to move on, but I still got a little grief left
I miss the way she combed her hair in the hallway mirror
I miss the smell of earl grey in the afternoon
I miss the way she was always laughing at me
And the way that laugh would ring

I turned on the six o’clock news
All the faces and all the names
Pretty sure it must be a lie
All the faces and all the names
It’s not real, it can’t be real
All the faces and all the names
It’s an elaborate trick of my mind
All the faces and all the names
Are you out there
Is anybody out there
Are you out there
Is anybody out there
Are you out there
Is anybody out there
I’m looking at some photographs
It’s all honeybees and daisies
It was a warmer time
With honeybees and daisies
I walked with someone
Through honeybees and daisies
That was a different me
With honeybees and daisies
Are you out there
Is anybody out there
Are you out there
Is anybody out there
Are you out there
Is anybody out there
I’m looking in the mirror
And it’s vaguely familiar
I think I remember you
It’s so vaguely familiar
You were always there
It’s so vaguely familiar
I think it’s going to be OK

Remember that place down on fourth street
We used to go in for a slice after work
The guy in there, I think his name was Joe, I really can’t remember
He used to spin the pizza right there on the tip of his finger
I was in town the other day
I thought I would stop in
I tell you, it’s not the same
Even though it still looks the same
It looks the same
But it will never be the same
Looks the same
It will never be the same
Still the same
It will never be the same
Still the same
It will never be the same
Did you hear about old Scotty
Boy, that guy used to like to have some fun
I don’t know how it all went so bad
He got wrapped up in some stuff he couldn’t handle
It all went south, now he’s living with his mom
I couldn’t believe it
I never thought it would happen to that guy
I stopped in to see him right after it happened
He was still the same old Scotty
Still the same
He’s not really the same
Somehow he’s the same
He’s never going to be the same
Still the same
He’ll never be the same
Still the same
He’ll never be the same
Still the same
He’ll never be the same
It’s good to talk to you, I guess it’s been a while
How’s your wife, how’s the kids, you know, how’s that job
Did you talk to anybody else anymore
Yeah, I don’t really talk to anybody, anymore
Me, you know me
I’m doing good, I never change
I stay the same
I think I’m the same
I’m still the same
Somehow, maybe I’m the same
Still the same
Not really the same
I stay the same
I guess I’m not the same at all
Stay the same
Nothing ever stays the same
Still the same
Nothing stays the same
Still the same
Nothing stays the same
Still the same
Nothing ever stays the same
