Same Girl
Jack Johnson(傑克強森) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'd say baby you were right
And I don't want to fight anymore
You're usually righter than I am
And I am not a very good fighter
And my, well neither are you
So lets be through with this one
I know you are still my same girl
Built her own frames for pictures that you paint
Lots in Monterrey, men across the bay, right back to my same girl, mm mm
How can you be so common
The truth is that sometimes you live in the eye of the storm
With everything going on around us
I feel comfort in the sound when you say it will be okay
Like a star brighten me to the light of the day
Old drums can follow me but not with my same girl
I built two room frames for the pictures that you paint
The lots in Monterrey, and then across the bay, right back to my same girl, mm mm

If you could read my mind
If you were able to know my thoughts and feelings
You'd say baby you were right
You would agree that I am correct, darling
And I don't want to fight anymore
I do not wish to argue any longer
You're usually righter than I am
You are often more correct than I am
And I am not a very good fighter
And I am not good at conflict resolution
And my, well neither are you
And you are not either, my dear
So lets be through with this one
So let's end this argument and move on
Some things never change
Certain things remain constant
I know you are still my same girl
I know you are still the person I fell in love with
Built her own frames for pictures that you paint
You create your own art and make your own way
Lots in Monterrey, men across the bay, right back to my same girl, mm mm
No matter where I go or who I meet, I keep coming back to you, my love
How can you be so common
How can you be so ordinary and yet still extraordinary to me?
The truth is that sometimes you live in the eye of the storm
The reality is that you can handle tough situations with calmness and grace
With everything going on around us
Even with all the chaos surrounding us
I feel comfort in the sound when you say it will be okay
Your words and presence bring me peace and reassurance
Like a star brighten me to the light of the day
You lift me up and help me see the beauty in the world
Old drums can follow me but not with my same girl
I may have played with old drummers in the past, but I only want to play with you now
I built two room frames for the pictures that you paint
I created a special place for your art in my life
The lots in Monterrey, and then across the bay, right back to my same girl, mm mm
No matter where I travel or who I meet, I always come back to you, my love
