[Verse 1]
I've been calling different cities home
Looking for the parts of me didn't get to know
And I know myself a little more the more I let you go
I've been calling different cities home
But only on the days my hands are cold
'Cause I fell for you that morning in the snow
And here in California you're not on my mind much more
Only on the days my hands are cold
[Chorus]
You like to tell me I changed
Like anybody really stays the same
You like to tell me I changed
Like anybody really stays the same
[Verse 2]
You know me better than I wish you did
You're a bigger part of me than I admit
And I hate that my whole family's got to ask me how you've been
You know me better than I wish you did
[Chorus]
You like to tell me I changed
Like anybody really stays the same
You like to tell me I changed
Like anybody really stays the same
[Verse 3]
Now that you're just somethin' to explain
Why accepting love is hard for me some days
Yeah, I still got some habits that she's helping me to break
Now that you're just somethin' to explain
[Chorus]
You like to tell me I changed
Like anybody really stays the same
You like to tell me I changed
Like anybody really stays
Like anybody really stays
Like anybody really stays the same

What is the inspiration behind this track?
I was walking home from the studio on melrose in los angeles on an abnormally cold night for LA. Something about my hands being freezing made me thing of this girl back in Toronto (I’m from Toronto) that I’d thought I was completely done thinking about. I got home that night and started exploring th...
What was the process of making the song like?
We didn’t figure out the answer to the production right away. It took a number of tries. The emotion of the song felt so specific we really wanted the track to serve that… when the production leaned sad and emotional, it just felt unnecessarily dramatic, but when the production leaned cool and trend...
