​and i’m just the same as i always was

[Verse 1]
Fallin’ from an orange tree
I watched the rest of me
Fly above the houses and the cars
Or maybe it was a silly dream
Patchwork quilt of memories
'Cause now I see I’m laying in the yard

[Chorus]
And I'm just the same as I always was
Twenty years and I finally pause
My breath is still holding for applause
But I’m just starting at the sky
Will the light come out?
And clean the ground?
Rinse the dust that’s gathered in the water spout
The kids all shout
Let me grow my flowers where I stand

[Verse 2]
I don’t know what’s coming after me
And I don’t know the answer
But I wanna hold you all I can
Take a walk with me tomorrow
You can lead and I will follow
You from the beginning ‘til the end

[Chorus]
And I’m just the same as I always was
Twenty years and I finally pause
My breath is still holding for applause
But I’m just staring at the sky
Oh, will the the light come out?
And clean the ground?
Rinse the dust that's gathered in the water spout
The kids all shout
Let me grow my flowers where I stand
