Old ballet shoes tossed in the corner
I put my cigarette out on the floor
Same old broken down face in the window
And fist sized hole in the door

If only I could see past myself
These ankles keep twisting in vain
And the older I get the more things
I let be to blame

Same old God
Same old prayer
I keep repeating myself
But I'm not getting anywhere

There's that old letter you wrote me
You said you wanted to be a star
Same old broken down car in the driveway
I guess we didn't get too far

If only I could see past myself
These keys they keep turning in vain
And the older I get the more things I let be to blame.

Same old God
Same old prayer
I keep repeating myself
But I'm not getting anywhere

If only I
If only I
If only I

Keep talking to that same old God
Saying the same old prayer
I keep repeating myself
But I'm not getting anywhere

If only I
If only I
If only I
If only I
If only I
If only I

Keep talking to that same old God
