Change and Change and Change and Change

歌詞

From The Album Songs of God and Whiskey (2015) Published by The Airborne Toxic Event Lyrics by Mikel Jollett Change and Change and Change and Change “You’re totally ignoring me,” she said as she put on her shirt I was lying on the bed, concentrating on her skirt “Did you hear one word I said?” she said “I don’t know, it’s all a blur” I close my eyes We fell in love in a great big rush Three years ago this June, I do recall Playing arcade games with her And wanting nothing at all Just this silly skinny girl Who tended to trip and fall On her lies But then summer came and we felt the strain Of the damning things we’d said All the summer rains like hurricanes That flew around our heads All the endless conversations, you know Like the things you could’ve done alone Instead, instead, instead, instead, instead So I fucked it up like I always do, I was born to be alone I don’t even know if the words were true that I screamed into the phone All I know is everybody leaves or so it seems to me When I’m alone, alone, alone, alone, alone But I was younger then and stronger then, somehow I can’t explain How these years can be so humbling, so strangely full of pain Just how everyone and everything must change and change and change and change And change and change and change Just like that Sometimes I feel just like a train that’s running off the tracks And sometimes I think I’ve said too many things I can’t take back And sometimes it seems like everything I do is just a waste In fact, that’s it, I think oh wait, I’m sure But I’m trying every morning that I wake to stand up straight And to always tell the truth and give back more than I take And to be kind and pure, less fucking scared of everything I just can’t take much more of this, I’m sure
