Things Will Never Be the Same

by Sam Lewis

on Solo (2020), Waiting On You (2015)

I saw you through the window
I caught you looking at me
Remember how they told us
Age was the enemy
Still you held my hand so tight
We said each other's names
Things will never be the same

We found lightning in a bottle
Thought it would explode
We shook it and we took it
To the dark end of the road
Threw it down on the ground
Walked away from the flame
Things will never be the same

Memories broke through the glass
Like walking, talking photographs
Reminding me of an old black-and-white
I watched one time late at night
Called out to the one you know
The one I've never seen before
Looking for someone else to blame

Stretchmarks and purple hearts
Cigarettes and brand new cars
Things will never be the same

I cut off the television
That someone gave to us
Said I'd see you on down the line
But I guess I missed the bus
Well I can't wait for tomorrow
But I'm stuck on yesterday
Things will never be the same

Rest stops and soda pops
New Orleans and southern rock
Things will never be the same

Not a pay phone to be found
The Sounds are back in Germantown

Things will never be the same
Things will never be the same
Things will never be the same
