Sheryl Crow - Still The Same lyrics

I'm not here to make you cry
Wake you up or change your mind
Life is what it is
And there's so much more than this
Maybe the way it was has changed
But, you and me, we're still the same

I wish we had a crystal ball that
We could ask what we should do
A Technicolor movie featuring the tale
Of me and you
And if the rearview mirror showed us
How and where we went astray
Would we keep heading down this road
Or would we choose to turn away?

I'm not here to make you cry
Bring you down or question why
The world is what it is
But there's so much more than this
Maybe the way it was has changed
But, you and me, we're still the same

What if the Earth refused to turn
Until we knew it's worth?
If rain refused to fall and the sun hid
Like some child who had been hurt?
Maybe the truth is only found in
Ancient scribblings on a wall
That told the story of the people
And what brought about their fall

I'm not here to make you cry
To save your soul or watch you die
'Cause this life is what it is
But there's so much more than this
Maybe the way it was has changed
But, you and me, we're still the same

Words only get in the way
Life's not black or white or gray
It's just a bunch of lovely days

Well, I'm not here to make you cry
Wake you up or change your mind
You know life is what it is
But there's so much more than this
Maybe the way it was has changed
But, you and me, we are the same
