Same Drum Lyrics by The Correspondents

Foolishman

2017

[Chorus]
These streets don't beat with the same drum
As they used to when I was with you

[Verse 1]
By text and online, it might seem like I'm having such a damn good time
The city's my playground, I loved every night
But you don't get to see what I keep out of sight
Behind the smiles and a clashing of dreams
There's a man in a boat who slowly sinks

[Chorus]
These streets don't beat with the same drum
As they used to when I was with you

[Verse 2]
I think I call my own shots
But everybody tells me what I have not got
Yearning for the things I don't want or need
How many shiny, bright things will quench my grief?
Behind the illusion of success, there's a warning flare and an SOS

[Chorus]
These streets don't beat with the same drum
As they used to when I was with you

[Verse 3]
I order my favorite food
But a rest, steak, and fries can't even lift my mood (Lift my mood)
A night that was a guarantee to have my mind blown (My mood)
Is diffused by an inevitable lonely ride home
Behind the dancing and excessive grin
There's a man at sea who finds it hard to swim

[Chorus]
These streets don't beat with the same drum
As they used to when I was with you

[Verse 4]
This city's always felt like home
Even on my own, I never felt alone
But a carnival marauding through the streets I grew up
Can't change the empty half of a half-full cup
Behind a face that conveys joy
I need you to rescue a drowning boy
