almost everything that's been said and done
means anything to anyone
like for me three chords can make a song

re-enter, common grounds
recapture, familiar sounds
restructure, a phrase profound

if inspiration slips right through my fingertips
i put a record on, of my favorite song each time

it's always been the same and will be
the same ways that you still thrill me
it's always been the same and will be
the same ways that you still thrill me, cause

it is what you say, in your own way
that works for me

and for everything that's rearranged
there's something else instead deranged
as long as the basics remain unchanged

retaining, consequence
rebuilding, eloquence
increasing the radiance

if inspiration slips right through my fingertips
i put a record on, of my favorite song each time

it's always been the same and will be
the same ways that you still thrill me
it's always been the same and will be
the same ways that you still thrill me, cause

it is what you say, in your own way
that works for me
