Lyrics Not The Same Anymore - The Strokes

Not The Same Anymore

You’re not the same anymore
Don’t wanna play that game anymore
You’d make a better window, than a door
Oh, the strangers they implore
It gets so easy to ignore
Just like the girl next door
Uncle’s house, it was noon
Sorry boy, I can’t employ ya
You are strange, but I like you
Sorry, this is overdue
I promised I would do it right
Her and a boy on a Saturday night
And now the door slams shut
A child prisoner grows up
To seek his enemy’s throat cut
We’re on the way, fuel the jet
Can see that what he wants, he gets
What does your sworn enemy regret?
I didn’t know, I didn’t care
I don’t even understand
Did something wrong, I wasn’t sure
Stay on top of this, or else
I was afraid, I fucked up, yeah yeah yeah
I couldn’t change, it’s too late
And now it’s time to show up
Late again, I can’t grow up
And now it’s on me, they’ve given up
Uncle’s house, I forget
Violent tendencies I get
Your timing sucks, she went overboard
Don’t forget, you are insured
I didn’t know, I wasn’t sure
Can’t remember all that well
I couldn’t change, was too late, yeah yeah yeah
