You were just always talking about changing. What if I was the same then, the same I always was

Artist- The Airborne Toxic Event
Song of the day- Changing

I tried to post this most excellent ditty a few days ago but the blogisphere hated me, almost as much as I hate myself for not snagging a ticket to this concert as seeing them live is at the top of my most favorite things to do list! Alas, I shall just have to appreciate their new album beginning with this first release. It has been stuck in my head lately thanks to the clever guitar hook and lyrics and well did I mention how great this band is? But I also can't escape the thought of change lately, how I keep having to make choices that will change my current existence, how much I've changed and how much I've been wondering if I've actually changed or just the same in the end? We evolve, we move around but are we actually better versions of ourselves, or different versions, or just the same in different places when it comes down to it. Sometimes it's tough to tell, so I think I'll just enjoy some dance troop jives instead. For all of you changing or the same man, this one's for you.



All these buckets of rain, I’ve heard enough about. You say that I lied.
I am a gentleman didn’t I ask for a place I could stay What were we both thinking
The next part just got in the way. You were just always talking about changing.
What if I was the same then, the same I always was

All these things that you say, like I’ll forget about the mind-numbing games that you play.
I am a gentleman, didn’t I pay for every laugh every dime, every bit every time and then you feed me some line.
I won’t hear one more word about changing.
Guess what I am the same man, same that I’ve always been.

Days pass and turn into weeks, when we don’t even speak. We just lay wide awake and pretend we’re asleep.
You go home alone and you’re checking your phone and you’re looking at me like I’m something you own.

All these buckets of rain, you can’t forget about it, you say I never tried.
I am a gentleman, didn’t I answer every time that you call, pick you up when you fall
But you never listen at all
You were just always talking about changing.
Guess what I am the same man.
