Jason Allen - Never Be The Same Lyrics

It should've been part of the plans
If they'd been kept
Maps drawn in the shifting sands
Where the breeze always takes effect

Bogged down in history
Unintentional man of mystery
Still there for all to see
Hidden in the dark with anxiety

Born to get a job but it wouldn't pay
Selling off the soul for a rainy day
Piece by piecemeal wasting away
For no particular sake or place

Don't be fooled, it'll change again
There's a riot going on down Memory Lane

The ghosts are in the street tonight
Calling out beneath the lights
Hear them shout familiar names
But it'll never be the same
Never be the same again
No, it'll never be the same
Never be the same again

It won't help to talk it through
'Cos no-one ever grew
Out of awkward phases
Still living in the past
Never at the races
What's a man to do?

Supposed to leave, but never left
Tripped up on the backward step
Made a run and made a mess
Where to now?
Feel free to guess

The ghosts are in the street again
Calling out beneath the rain
Hear them shout familiar names
But it'll never be the same
Never be the same again
No, it'll never be the same
Never be the same again

You could've been King of the World
But you got caught
With both hands 'round the neck of time
And you still say it's not your fault
