Breaking bread at the same table

Take it with you when you go

Hanging our hats on the same old dreams
G#m
The same questions about different beliefs

We are both in love but not always at the same time
Stuck inside our heads but we have the same cares

Sleep in the same bed, but different nightmares

Cross each other's lines while riding the same road
So take it with you when you go

Take it with you when you go
