Stay The Same
Twiceyoung Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh I feel closer
There's nothing I wouldn't give for you right now
Let me move backward
I keep out of sight

Stay the same wonder
We burn for a peace that we won't find
Never lose color
We're burning for life, li-i-ife

And I love to be apart
Darling you should know
You were the only one I wanted to love
And I love to be apart
Darling you should know
You are the only one I want to love

Tried to feel something
I said it enough, is that alright?
Oh you're still frozen
We move out of light, li-i-ight

And I love to be apart
Darling you should know
You were the only one I wanted to love
I love to be apart
Darling you should
You are the only one I want to love
And I love to be apart
Darling you should know
You were the only one I wanted to love
And I love to apart




Darling you should know
You are the only one I want to love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Twiceyoung's song Stay the Same speak of a desire for a deep connection and a sense of closeness with someone. The singer expresses their willingness to give anything for this person, even though they feel the need to keep their distance and stay out of sight. They yearn for a sense of peace, but know that it is something that may never be fully attained. Despite this, the singer declares their love for this person and affirms that they are the only one they want to love.


The repetition of the phrase "And I love to be apart" may seem contradictory at first, as being apart from someone usually implies the opposite of love. However, in this context, it appears to suggest a desire for independence and the ability to maintain one's own identity while still feeling connected to someone else on an emotional level. The lines "We burn for a peace that we won't find/ Never lose color/ We're burning for life" further emphasize the idea of an elusive longing for something that cannot be fully grasped.


Overall, Stay the Same explores the complexities of love, desire, and the pursuit of a sense of belonging in a way that is both introspective and relatable.
