If you could read my mind
You'd say "Baby you were right
And I don't want to fight anymore"
You're usually righter than I am
And I'm not a very good fighter
Am I? No neither are you
So let's be through with this one
Because some things never change

I know you're still my same girl
Who builds her own frames
For the pictures that she paints
Of the lights in Monterey
Coming across the bay
Right back to my same girl

How can you be so calm
When the truth is that sometimes
We live in the eye of the storm
With everything going on around us
I feel comfort in the sounds when you say
It will be okay
Like a star guiding me
To the light of the day
The doldrums could follow me

But not with my same girl
Who builds her own frames
For the pictures that she paints
Of the lights in Monterey
Coming across the bay
Right back to my same girl

    General Comment:Did anyone hear the live version where he added these lines,

    "With all that being said
    If I admit I was wrong
    Can we just call it even
    Since I wrote you this song"


    Sounds like it is about a fight, especially from the line

    "So let's be through with this one..." but he still he loves her, this is such a beautiful song.

    General Comment:Geezus stop fighting about the lyrics. the original ones are right anyway.. who cares if a few words are wrong.. and its about how ever much him and this girl go through and even if it seems like shes changing, shell always be the one he loves.

    General Comment:He loves his girl. And when they argue, despite feeling angry and all, he still knows that she is his same girl whom he adores. So he says let's get through with this fight, cause at the end you'll be my same girl and nothing will change.

    General Comment:to everyone who's arguing over the lyrics:

    you can have the admin change the lyrics by posting in the board for errors. you can find it through the FAQs. they normally update the posted errors nightly. don't you all think it might be nice to not have the Comments sections filled with post after post of corrections once in a while?

    General Comment:Things between him and this girl haven't changed, despite time passing. No matter who she meets, or what she does, she remains her own person... the same one he first met.

    General Comment:I think this song means that he knows he'll always have this girl by his side and she'll never change.

    General Comment:Again, I'll post the lyrics FROM THE BOOKLET:

    If you could read my mind
    You'd say "Baby you were right
    And I don't want to fight anymore"
    You're usually righter than I am
    And I'm not a very good fighter
    Am I? No neither are you
    So let's be through with this one
    Because some things never change

    I know you're still my same girl
    Who builds her own frames
    For the pictures that she paints
    Of the lights in Monterey
    Coming across the bay
    Right back to my same girl

    How can you be so calm
    When the truth is that sometimes
    We lie in the eye of the storm
    With everything going on around us
    I feel comfor in the sounds when you say
    It will be okay
    Like a star guiding me
    To the light of the day
    The doldrums could follow me

    But not with my same girl
    Who builds her own frames
    For the pictures that she paints
    Of the lights in Monterey
    Coming across the bay
    Right back to my same girl
