(Mmm, yeah)
They say the world is changing, baby
But we’re just products of the love we knew
I sit and watch the way the seasons turn
Seeing all the lessons we were forced to learn
We were raised on dinner tables, face to face
Finding comfort in the quiet, steady pace
Different blueprints for the souls we hold
Stories written in the truths we were told
Back when shadows had a name, and time was slow
Before the world moved everywhere we didn't want to go
Oh, we were raised differently, you and I
Underneath the same old painted evening sky
Maybe that’s why we’re struggling to find our way
In the chaos of the shadows of the modern day
But you’re the one thing that stays the same
Yeah, baby, you’re the one thing that stays the same
It starts at home, the way we frame our light
Before we step into the noise of Friday night
Someone’s always teaching, filling up the space
Changing all the values that we meant to embrace
If we don’t hold the line, who’s left to lead?
Planting wisdom like a slow and steady seed
I miss the simplicity of how it felt to be
Just you and me, living in the space we’re meant to see
Oh, we were raised differently, you and I
Underneath the same old painted evening sky
Maybe that’s why we’re struggling to find our way
In the chaos of the shadows of the modern day
But you’re the one thing that stays the same
Yeah, baby, you’re the one thing that stays the same
(Come here, mmm)
We don't have to be the victims of the drift
We can find the pieces that we need to lift
Let the past be the foundation, not the wall
I’m here to catch you every time we start to fall
Oh, it’s a different world, but the love is true
It all comes back to me and you
So let them talk about how children change today
We’ll just find our own rhythm in the disarray
It’s the silence that we keep that makes us strong
Knowing where we started, and where we both belong
I need you, baby, through the shifting tide
With you is the only place I want to hide
Oh, we were raised differently, you and I
Underneath the same old painted evening sky
Maybe that’s why we’re struggling to find our way
In the chaos of the shadows of the modern day
But you’re the one thing that stays the same
Yeah, baby, you’re the one thing that stays the same
Stays the same
(Mmm, yeah)
Just you and me
Raised differently, but we’re the same
I need you, baby
Yeah, we're the same.
