And I'm calling all my friends
To tell them I've gone away
The traffic here tonight's
As bad as L.A.

The stars in the night sky
All spell out your name
There's no paint on no canvas
No face and no frame

It's the same old line
You better recognize I'm leaving you
Recognize I'm living
The same old life
You better recognize I'm leaving you
Recognize

And I'm calling all my friends
To tell them I've been okay
These L.A. girls and church goers
Have shown me their ways

Of letting go of my idea of
Life and my place
As I stagger back to my car
The radio's playing

The same old line
You better recognize I'm leaving you
Recognize

It's the same old line
You better recognize I'm leaving you
Recognize I'm living
The same old life
You better recognize I'm leaving you
Recognize I'm leaving you

I'm calling around
I'm making a scene
What am I trying to do
I'm calling around
I'm making a scene
What am I trying to do

It's the same old line
You better recognize I'm leaving you
Recognize I'm living
The same old life
You better recognize I'm leaving you
Recognize I'm living
The same old lie
The same old time
The same old lie
The same old lie

Recognize I'm telling you
Recognize I'm telling the truth
Recognize I'm telling you
Recognize I'm telling the truth

It's the same old line
You better recognize I'm leaving you
Recognize I'm living
The same old life
You better recognize I'm leaving you
Recognize I'm living the truth
