Lyrics
Same room, different sides I see you before you see mine I came here thinking I was good Now I'm standing where you stood Wristband tight, I tear the extra paper Somebody says my name beside the bar I turn around expecting another favor See you with your hand around his arm You've got that silver ring you used to spin When the conversation wasn't going anywhere I catch myself checking if you're doing it again Like I still get to know what isn't there New jacket, old habit, finding where you are I can work a room until you're in the room Everybody asks about the record and the car Nobody asks why I keep checking on the view The woman next to me is telling me her name I make her say it twice, then hate myself for that She didn't come to be an extra in a game I didn't know I'd started till I saw you looking back I lift my glass like nothing's different You give a little nod from where you stand We used to know what every look was saying Now I don't know if I should raise my hand Same room, different stories You look fine from where I'm standing I look fine from where you are Neither one can see the damage Don't look over here If you're good over there Same room, different stories Why's it feel like you're still mine? You find me by the hallway near the speakers Say you heard the single on your way to work I almost ask which line you think is about you Instead I say I'm glad you liked the verse You ask if I've been sleeping any better I tell you that the schedule's been a lot You say you didn't ask about the schedule Funny how you still can find the thing I dodge He comes around the corner with your jacket You introduce us, I remember how to smile His handshake's firm, he says he's heard the music There goes every reason I was making not to like him You say you're leaving early, got a morning I say I've got another place to be The truth is I was staying till you left here Now I don't know why I need to make you think I'm busy You reach to hug me, I don't see it coming For a second, I forget to keep it light Then you step away and fix your jacket And I let the whole exchange end with goodnight Same room, different stories You look fine from where I'm standing I look fine from where you are Neither one can see the damage Don't look over here If you're good over there Same room, different stories Why's it feel like you're still mine? I thought you came to see what you were missing Like the whole night had to have something to do with me Turns out you know the girl who put the event together And he was just the person you wanted her to meet I tell myself you held the hug a little longer Then remember I was slow to let you go I could turn a normal question into something If it means I don't have to leave this room alone The woman from the bar is laughing with her people I leave her to the night she came to have Go outside before I make another introduction With one eye on the door and one foot in the past Same room, different stories You looked fine from where I stood I looked fine, but I was reaching For a sign you never gave me I kept looking over there You were only being fair Same room, different stories I can leave my version here Wristband off, I drop it in the bin Cold air, let the whole night settle in Driver asks me where I'm heading now I give my own address and turn the volume down
