Same For Everyone Songtext

von Paperboys

Barrie was a friend of mine, inseparable in school
Picking out the teams
The rugby fields were football fields
When lunch time rolled around
We'd play at the far end by the girls
The day I left for Canada, we said one last good-bye
With phone calls in between
We figured out how many letters
We would send each year
We never even made it past the first

CHORUS

As the bullet leaves the gun

The moon bows to the sun

What has died has just begun

And it's the same for everyone
The five months spent with Jennifer
Might well have been three years
Like a goldfish in a bowl, life moved all around us
But we cared not where or when
Until the day she looked out through the glass
The last thing Jenny gave to me
Was a kiss I knew so well
But it was filled with tears
In irony they joined together
Hers along with mine
For it was in the parting that they fell

CHORUS
Good Friday is a solemn day
But never more than when
I walked into that room
And saw her friends and family embracing as they wept
And Karen's picture smiling from the pine, from the pine
And Karen's picture smiling from the pine


CHORUS
