Songtexte Wish We Were the Same - Max Charles

Do you ever feel like we're living in the good old days
Tonight's a whirlwind of white noise but we're in phase
One day we will wake up and come down to earth
One day we won't wake up
And the night of me hopes that day comes first

I would lie with you under the milky way
For so long that the stars begin to fade
Oh, oh
But as sparks fly, our houses turn to flame
We could lay all night, but we could never change our names
I wish things were different
Wish we were the same

With the burning strip, the clock thaws and frees our hands
In His faint glow, you hide your skull under a flag
Come the dawn, I'm suspended in your sunbeam gaze
The night of me is starting to miss the good old days

I would lie with you under the milky way
For so long that the stars begin to fade
Oh, oh
But as sparks fly, our houses turn to flame
We could lay all night, but we could never change our names
I wish things were different
I wish we were the same

The world can be unbearably hard
Disappointing, even horrifying
But I'd like to remind you all that it's happened before
Acknowledging friends in gay relationships required
Roughly the same level of covertness as admitting
You had a marijuana plant growing in the bathroom
I may be over-romanticising the salad days of my youth
But when I think of those times
I feel like these people did more than most to create
The implicit permission for all of us to be
A little braver, freer, more ourselves

I would lie with you under the milky way
For so long that the stars begin to
Begin to fade
But as sparks fly, our houses turn to flame
We could lay all night, but we could never change our names
I wish things were different
I wish we were the same
