Lyrics
Verse 1
Verse Change is a bad friend
Always calls at 2 a.m
Never asks how you’ve been
Just moves your life around
Says
“pack light
Don’t look back”
Leaves your keys under the mat
Takes your name off the door
Doesn’t stay to hear you shout
Pre-Chorus
You say
“I was doing fine”
It shrugs and steals your time
Drops your heart in a different town
Then whispers
“write it down”
Chorus
Change doesn’t love you
But it pushes in a way
Like a hand in the small of your back
When you’re scared to climb the stage
Change doesn’t choose you
Still it drags you through the day
Leaves you standing in a brighter room
You never thought you’d face
Verse 2
Verse Change never keeps track
Of all the things it cracks
Frames and faces on the floor
Names you don’t recall
But in the mess
There’s a map
In every tear
Every laugh
You trace the lines
They all lead
Somewhere past this wall
Pre-Chorus
You say
“I just want control”
It grins
“that’s how it goes”
Hands you shoes you’ve never worn
Points you toward the storm
Chorus
Change doesn’t love you
But it pushes in a way
Like a tide pulling off of the shore
When you swear you want to stay
Change doesn’t choose you
Still it colors every day
Leaves you standing in a truer skin
You never thought you’d name
Bridge
Maybe it’s not kind
But it’s honest in its climb
Every step you swear you’ll break
Becomes the ground you take
Chorus
Change doesn’t love you
But it pushes in a way
Like a friend who won’t let you hide
When you’d rather fade away
Change doesn’t choose you
Still it carves you
Come what may
Leaves you standing in a deeper life
You never thought you’d claim
