The Same Boy You've Always Known

The White Stripes · White Blood Cells [2002]

You fell down, of course

And then you got up, of course

And started over

Forgot my name, of course

Then you started to remember

Pretty tough to think about, the beginning of December

Pretty tough to think about, pretty tough to think about

Yeah, yeah, pretty tough to think about



You're looking down, again

And then you look me over

We're laying down, again

On a blanket in the clover

Same boy you've always known, well I guess I haven't grown

Same boy you've always known, same boy you've always known

Think of what the past did, it could have lasted

So put it in your basket

I hope you know a strong man who can lend you a hand

Lowering my casket



I thought this was just today

Soon you'll be returning

The ? blue ocean water cannot stop

My heart and mind from burning

Everyones whos in the know says that's exactly how it goes

And if there's anything good about me, I'm the only who knows
