lyrics

There’s a certain kind of constancy a certain kind of dependency
That comes from the way the lock always fits the key
That comes from the way that the clocks guaranteed to chime
That the sentence after next will always result in a rhyme
It’s reliable, a guarantee that each and every Friday
Some drunken soul will stumble past mumbling the words to my way
That somehow the guy always ends up with the girl
It’s as constant as the sun bringing shadows to the world

CHORUS
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was

Like flowers growing further up & up into the sky
And like the ultimate statistic that everything’ll die
Like the tides going out and every sun that’s ever set
You can time your watch by accurist that Jumbo’ll never forget
It’s as perfect as the mountains, eternal as the seas
Just like every single circle has 360 degrees
Just like Columbo will always work out every clue
You can always rely on my love for you

CHORUS
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was

BRIDGE
I’ll always be here whenever you need me
I’ll always search for you when I need someone to turn to
I’ll always find you if I need a friend
I’ll always love you all the way to my days end.
