songs: Not The Same

Written sometime before 2004, this is one of the first songs I released as "Ronnie Day". It was originally a duet with John of Secondhand Serenade, from a time when we had a band together, but I re-recorded the chorus to release it as a solo effort. His vocals can still be heard in the pre-chorus harmony.

Its been years now
And its clear now
That this feeling's more than letting go
I'm not quite complete without you

You dissolved me,
Unresolved I see no point in turning back again
'Cause I know just what will happen

I wish you would stay tonight
I wish you would come back to haunt me
I wish we could try
I wish we could try

I wish you would hold me tight
Your arms wont take me for granted
Take back "goodbye"
Take back "goodbye"

I don't want to think about you but I
Don't want to go without you and I
Know that you will never leave my mind
'Cause girls like you are the lasting kind

And I don't want to be this lonely but I
Don't let these new girls know me 'cause I
Know that I left my best with you
Yeah, you know its true
Yeah, you know its true

I know that you think about me
Well, I think about you too
And I know that you dream about me
Well, I dream about you too

I wish you would stay tonight
I wish you would come back to haunt me
I wish we could try
I wish we could try

I wish you would hold me tight
Your arms wont take me for granted
Take back "goodbye"
Take back "goodbye"

I don't want to think about you but I
Don't want to go without you and I
Know that you will never leave my mind
'Cause girls like you are the lasting kind

And I don't want to be this lonely but I
Don't let these new girls know me 'cause I
Know that I left my best with you
Yeah, you know its true
Yeah, you know its true
