Same Old Same Old Lyrics

I wanna leave you
I wanna lose us
I wanna give up
But I won't

I wanna miss this
I want a heartache
I wanna run away
But I won't

Do I love you
Oh, I do
And I'm going to 'til I'm gone
But if you think that I can stay in this
Same old, same old
Well, I don't
I don't

I'm gonna break things
I'm gonna cross the line
And make you wake up
'Cause you won't

I'm gonna name names,
I'm gonna call us out
I'm gonna say it
If you won't

'Cause do I love you
Oh, I do
And I'm going to 'til I'm gone
But if you think that I can stay in this
Same old, same old
Well, I don't

Oh I don't wanna fight
But I'll fight with you
If I have to, If I have to

Do I love you
Oh, I do
And I'm going to 'til I'm gone
But if you think that I can stay in this
Same old, same old
Same old, same old
Well, I don't
I don't

Same Old Same Old

This bittersweet tune represents to Civil Wars member Joy Williams, "the ache of monogamy." She explained: "This isn't an 'I'm leaving you' song. It's a vulnerable confession of 'I don't want to leave. I want to work on this - with you.'"

"Having said that," she continued, "someone once told me a story about long-term relationships: to think of them as a continent to explore. I could spend a lifetime backpacking through Africa, and I would still never know all there is to know about that continent. To stay the course, to stay intentional, to stay curious and connected -- that's the heart of it. But it's so easy to lose track of the trail, to get tired, to want to give up, or to want a new adventure. It can be so easy to lose sight of the goodness and mystery within the person sitting right in front of you. That continent idea inspires me, and makes the ache when it comes hurt a little less. To know that it happens to all of us. What I'm realizing now is that sometimes the 'same old same old' can actually be rich, worthwhile and a great adventure."
