What do you do
When the things you once had
Aren't what they were anymore?
Remember the day
When you sat right here
And to be with you forever I swore
Faces you knew
Come along but don't look
Like what you remember at all
Pictures that stay
In your mind and don't leave
But still end up somehow different than before
Perfect picture of you and I,
Fading faster and I think I know why
Gone without me to the other side
Must I follow and leave the old me behind
Change, it spins us round and bends us down, turns us inside out
Change, it melts us down and moulds us round
Into who we are, into who we are, into who we are.
What do you do
When it's hard to recall
The things you miss the most
10, 000 miles away
From the place you used to call
Home sweet home
Memory fades
And it comes, well it goes
You'll forget it all
Perfect picture of you and I,
Fading faster and I think I know why
Gone without me to the other side
Must I follow and leave the old me behind
Change, it spins and round and bends us down, turns us inside out
Change, it melts us down and moulds us round
Into who we are, into who we are.
Jokes you used to tell,
The way things used to smell
Expressions on your face
Wouldn't want it any other way
I'd whisper in your ear
Always hold you near
We were heading for the ground
Didn't ever want any of it to change
All those happy thoughts
I never did give up
Always tried so hard
Until reality walked through my door
The lighting it grew thin
The flame it grew too dim
Do you wanna change the real person that you are today?
What do you do
When the things you once had
Aren't what they were anymore?
Remember the day
When you sat right here
And to be with you forever I swore
