Balance Lost
Growing in that house
Filled with so much stuff
Given so much space
Too much is never enough
To occupy my time
I didn't need nobody
You'd interrupt and tempers fray
For that I'm sorry
We look the same way
We do the same things
People say we even sound like each other
We look the same way
We do the same things
People say we even sound like each other
You answer the telephone
Someone we know asking after your father
I don't know, he's not home
He'll come back when you stop calling
2 different cities
Over time I would drift away
In my mindless fog
I never seemed to realise your pain
Put us side by side in the leather boots
We'll put them all to shame
The time for talk comes later
Just play the game
We look the same way
We do the same things
People say we even sound like each other
We look the same way
We do the same things
People say we even sound like each other
You answer the telephone
Someone we know asking after your father
I don't know, he's not home
He'll come back when you stop calling

Am G/B C G
I'm not gonna lie, nor have I ever
When it comes to how it feels to be near you
Where my words don't die before their time
But when they yield to a reproof then I hear you
Em D C
Yes, I tried for a year
To keep what's best for me near
But no trying of mine will impede you
G C G/B Am
Because every feeling can be propped up with acts
But you went for revealing and conceding to facts
And though that's not where I'm leaning, I'm not gonna look back
We may sound like each other, but we're both playing different tracks
I'm not gonna run away and hide
Though it's the dominant impression inside me
You're a fellow runner, not the mark
The only change is you're no longer beside me
Yes, I thought we thought the same
But it's a wonder all the same
Exactly how someone like me could like me
Em Bm
Em D C
I jumped the moon to find us totally in tune
Until the devil emerged from the details
Yet "it wasn't meant to be" is still a compliment to me
For being drawn to intelligent females
G C G/B Em D C Am
Because every feeling can be propped up with acts
But you went for revealing and conceding to facts
And this lesson I'm heeding, though it's setting me back
Will furnish the patience I lack
'Cause we sound like each other, but we're both playing different tracks

Re: We Sound Like Each Other
We Sound Like Each Other- glennny
lyrics by Glen Phillips & Ken Mahru
We sound like each other
You two sound the same too
They're sounding like their brother
We say “oui.”
It's not fair at the fair when they punish the bears
I can't bear your lies as you lie on the bed
I can see the sea as you take the lead
in your lead boat which is led by a tugboat
Oui, we sound like each other
Even though you're a stranger
Your my audio doppelgänger
Oui, we sound like each other
Oui, we sound like each other
The rose rose behind the rows of tulips
There are two lips
They’re too cute
I will bow at the bow
as your bow hits the floor
or shot from a bough
turned into a bow
Oui, we sound like each other
Even though you're a stranger
Your my audio doppelgänger
Oui, we sound like each other
Oui, we sound like each other
Know no know no never know
Never known nor ever never no know
Never know no never know
Never known nor ever never no know

Re: We Sound Like Each Other
WE SOUND LIKE EACH OTHER
**********
Billy and the Psychotics
It's written all over your heart.
So don't even start trying to buy any time
You've missed the point from the very start
and I don't know how you're going to spin
straw into gold rhyme
CH
We think we sound like each other
but two dots don't connect the line...
You make demands
and draw lines in the sand -
but i don't agree
so you don't have hand on me
I could talk about the end times...
I could impress you with facts and math and figures and all that, but you don't listen to jack!
So we won't talk about that.
We already know we can't.
I'll just tell you what I know,
because you can't cheat in a game you don't know.
