Same Direction Lyrics by The Streets

None of Us Are Getting Out of This Life Alive

2020

[Chorus: Jimothy Lacoste & Mike Skinner]
See me, I like to go my own way
We both say goodbye but then walk in the same direction
If she can't move on, that's her problem, I'm good, that's her delay
We both say goodbye but then walk in the same direction

[Verse 1: Mike Skinner]
Like owls in the night, we're up so late
Sympathy fiddle plays for a love that's wasted
Now is the time for a good idea
In the middle of the night when no one's up to take it
Two-eighty-one's getting done, damaged
Soleil was her name, like the sun in Paris
The air was silent, the only thing about her that was
From sundown 'til lunch
I wink, I was joking, if she snubs me
I'll take it slowly, she wears it, hell
She's lit up, smokin' in the club
But she drives too fast to care about her health
She only listens to crud or house
I'm only ever in the club or house
Cigarettes she gave up just for loud
I only ever wanna make

[Chorus: Jimothy Lacoste & Mike Skinner]
See me, I like to go my own way
We both say goodbye but then walk in the same direction
If she can't move on, that's her problem, I'm good, that's her delay
We both say goodbye but then walk in the same direction

[Verse 2: Mike Skinner]
You lean in to the car window
Tell me the stars are getting off
The sky moves back like tinted windows
Revealing tomorrow like a deathly cough
I tell no lies, it's easy to remember
Pocket the keys from in my lap
One too many blue lights flick on the dash
Glow from the electronic highs
Smoke floats out and disappears
You jump in the driving seat, make for the stick
No joke now, we are onto our fears
Bump up the song, hit the mirror on the door
Wait for her key to be fatally flawed

[Chorus: Jimothy Lacoste & Mike Skinner]
See me, I like to go my own way
We both say goodbye but then walk in the same direction
If she can't move on, that's her problem, I'm good, that's her delay
We both say goodbye but then walk in the same direction

[Verse 3: Jimothy Lacoste]
But we're now walking the same direction
So God, please leave me
Please leave me, please leave me
Leave me, leave me
Please leave me, yeah, please move on
Please leave me and carry on
Please leave me and don't be weird
Please leave me, you just flopped
Please leave me, you're now dropped
Please leave me, I need time
Please leave me, you're in slime
Please leave me with my music

[Refrain: Mike Skinner]
We both say goodbye but then walk in the same direction
We both say goodbye but then walk in the same direction

[Outro: Mike Skinner]
I never rate any gathering 'til the people have all settled
To talk on the weather in the wet is a downer on the day
We could debate this all afternoon and we would still not settle it
But that is much better than us settling it without debating at all
