Same Old Thing
JORDANNA Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All of the world flew by in a day
Left me dragging my heart to the bed
Thought I'd figure it out on the way
But it's all the same
Same old thing
Never change
Say my name
When you call again

You call me I got you we go it's always on
You call me I got you we go it's always on
You call me I got you we go it's always on
You call me I got you we go it's always on
Been here before with you baby
Falling at your feet when you're leaving me
Tell me pick it up and go
It ain't nothing you don't know
And it goes like
Call you up just to hear you talk on a late night
Tell you baby you can come on over just a short flight
Know I should be over you but nobody else feels right
I wish that you wanted it bad enough to commit to it
And I begged you to stay but you got big plans in LA
And I'm picking petals, pray I land on you love me
All of the world flew by in a day
Left me dragging my heart to the bed
Thought I'd figure it out on the way
But it's all the same
Same old thing
Never change
Say my name
When you call again
You call me I got you we go it's always on
You call me I got you we go it's always on
You call me I got you we go it's always on
You call me I got you we go it's always on
You call me I got you we go it's always on

You call me I got you we go it's always on
You call me I got you we go it's always on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Joordanna's song "Same Old Thing" convey a sense of frustration and repetition in a relationship. The opening lines, "All of the world flew by in a day, left me dragging my heart to the bed," suggest that time has passed quickly, but the singer's emotions have been weighed down and left unresolved. They had hoped to find clarity or understanding along the way, but everything remains stagnant and unchanging, hence the statement "it's all the same, same old thing, never change."

The repetition of the phrase "You call me I got you we go it's always on" throughout the song reflects a pattern in the relationship. It appears that the singer's partner frequently reaches out to them, and they always respond and go along with it, indicating a familiarity with this dynamic. However, this repetition may also imply a feeling of being stuck or trapped in a cycle that never progresses or evolves.

The lyrics also touch upon the singer's past experiences with this person, as they mention having been "here before with you baby, falling at your feet when you're leaving me." This suggests that they have gone through the same heartbreak and disappointment in the past, yet they still find themselves unable to fully let go. The line "Tell me pick it up and go, it ain't nothing you don't know" implies a desperation to move on, but also a sense that their partner understands this pattern and exploits it.

The second verse introduces the singer's longing for their partner, even though they know they should be over them. They describe calling their partner late at night just to hear their voice and expressing a desire for them to come over. The lyrics also convey a sense that nobody else can replace the feelings they have for their partner, as they sing, "Know I should be over you but nobody else feels right." This illustrates the complexity of their emotions and their struggle to let go, even though they acknowledge that their partner may not have the same level of commitment.

In summary, "Same Old Thing" by Joordanna explores the cyclical nature of a relationship, where the singer finds themselves repeatedly going back to their partner despite the lack of progress or change. The lyrics express frustration, longing, and a sense of being trapped in a pattern that is difficult to break free from.

Line by Line Meaning

All of the world flew by in a day
Everything in the world moved quickly in just one day

Left me dragging my heart to the bed
It made me feel emotionally exhausted and sad

Thought I'd figure it out on the way
I believed I would find the answers as I went along

But it's all the same
But everything remains unchanged

Same old thing
The repetitive and predictable situation

Never change
It never transforms or evolves

Say my name
Call out my name

When you call again
When you reach out to me once more

You call me I got you we go it's always on
Whenever you contact me, I'm there for you and we repeat the cycle

Been here before with you baby
I have experienced this situation with you before, my dear

Falling at your feet when you're leaving me
Becoming vulnerable and clingy when you're about to leave

Tell me pick it up and go
Tell me to move on and leave behind this situation

It ain't nothing you don't know
It's something you are already aware of

And it goes like
And it happens in this familiar manner

Call you up just to hear you talk on a late night
I call you simply to listen to your voice during the late hours

Tell you baby you can come on over just a short flight
I inform you that you can visit me easily with a quick journey

Know I should be over you but nobody else feels right
I understand that I should have moved on from you, but no one else feels suitable

I wish that you wanted it bad enough to commit to it
I desire that you desired our relationship strongly enough to fully commit

And I begged you to stay but you got big plans in LA
I pleaded for you to remain, but you have important plans in Los Angeles

And I'm picking petals, pray I land on you love me
And I'm playing a game of picking flower petals, hoping I end up on the outcome where you love me

You call me I got you we go it's always on
When you call me, I'm there for you and we continue this constant pattern
