Same Perfume

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Alarm clock buzzing at the crack of dawn

Same tired shirt I keep putting on

Bills on the counter piling up tall

Some days I trip before I even crawl

My sister calls me crying on the phone

Her landlord's knocking and she's all alone

I tell her breathe now

I tell her hold tight

We'll figure something out by tonight

[Pre-Chorus]

Some days the world feels like it's caving in

Some days I lose before I can begin

[Chorus]

But I keep going

Yeah I keep going

Through the wreck and the rain

Through the joy and the pain

I keep going

Yeah I keep going

Something in me won't quit

I'm not done with it

[Post-Chorus]

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

[Verse 2]

My neighbor hates me for the noise I make

We fought all summer over some mistake

Then her kid got sick

I brought soup to her door

Now we laugh about the war we had before

I love a man who drives me half insane

He leaves his dishes sitting in the drain

But when I'm shaking

He holds my two hands

And suddenly I almost understand

[Pre-Chorus]

The hate and the hope live inside the same room

The crazy and calm share the same perfume

[Chorus]

But I keep going

Yeah I keep going

Through the wreck and the rain

Through the joy and the pain

I keep going

Yeah I keep going

Something in me won't quit

I'm not done with it

[Post-Chorus]

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

[Bridge]

Maybe the mess is the point

Maybe the cracks let the light in

Maybe I'm stronger than the shape I'm in

Stronger than the shape I'm in

[Breakdown]

Struggle

Stumble

Sing anyway

Sing anyway

[Chorus]

I keep going

Yeah I keep going

Through the wreck and the rain

Through the joy and the pain

I keep going

Yeah I keep going

Something in me won't quit

I'm not done with it

[Post-Chorus]

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

La-la-la

La-la-la-la

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

[Outro]

I keep going

I keep going
