Same Ol' Road Lyrics

Lyric discussion by THECobra 

Cover art for Same Ol' Road lyrics by Dredg

This makes me believe it's about someone who is having a hard time making a living, and just making it through each day. The person gets sympathy from others and they open their heart up to them and show what their true self is.

From line "All you need is a modest house" to "About the stars " it's all about what you need to live to be overall happy. The verse is just describing a simple, perfect-enough area to live and grow in.
