Stay the Same Lyrics
A night train, midnight, bags gathered round my feet
Possessions, some lessened, to carry with me
Heavy and soothing; Like a gentle symphony
I rest my, head right, back upon my seat
It's hard and cold though; The best thing for me
This train is, Movin' but my heart is stationary
Seasons change; it won't ever be the same
I'm hopin' I will stay the same
Reasons strange; Why we always play these games
I left it, with you; A note that was discreet
I made sure, I put it, upon the cellar door
It's hanging, hoping, will you read it while I weep
Last time, the last time, it flickers through me
So vivid, it rushes, from my head down to my feet
We're laughing, joking, through (?) to my defeat
Seasons change; it won't ever be the same
I'm hopin' I will stay the same
Reasons strange; Why we always play these games
Possessions, some lessened, to carry with me
Heavy and soothing; Like a gentle symphony
It's hard and cold though; The best thing for me
This train is, Movin' but my heart is stationary
I'm hopin' I will stay the same
Reasons strange; Why we always play these games
I made sure, I put it, upon the cellar door
It's hanging, hoping, will you read it while I weep
So vivid, it rushes, from my head down to my feet
We're laughing, joking, through (?) to my defeat
I'm hopin' I will stay the same
Reasons strange; Why we always play these games

That last verse is something so well described.
"Last time, the last time, it flickers through me So vivid, it rushes, from my head down to my feet We're laughing, joking, threw a dice to my defeat."
If she is leaving due to a breakup, this part of the song really runs through the downfall of her relationship. It's always so hard when you know what went wrong and dissmiss it as nothing while it happened.
This song is simple perfection, absolutely beautiful. I think it's safe to say that it's a song about changes in life or a relationship, and trying to maintain a stable sense of self with the changing of the "seasons" of life.
