I was a jack and coke
You were a strawberry daquiri
I was sitting at the table in the corner
Listening to whatever was on the jukebox
You were up at the bar
Chatting noisily to anyone
We were very different
And so much the same
I was a stroll through the city
You were out climbing trees
You were sipping iced chai tee
I was drinking black coffee
From a chipped porcelain mug
At the old greasy diner down main street
We were very different
And so much the same
You were hiding something
Deep inside yourself
I was hiding something else
You were hiding pain and loss
And a fear to be alone
I was just alone
We were very different
And so much the same
I was a jack and coke
You were a strawberry daquiri
