Stays the Same

[Verse 1]
When we were young
Before our real lives began
We made hay in the sun
As time has passed
Searching for the greener grass
We forgot how to laugh

[Pre-Chorus]
Just so you know I'm not quite ready, no, I'm not quite ready
No, I'm not quite ready to give up yet
Not quite ready, no, I'm not quite ready
No, I'm not quite ready to forget it

[Chorus]
Do you remember all the plans we made?
All the plays we saved for rainy days
Things didn't turn out that way
'Cause things change, things change
Do you remember all the games we played?
On the bark of the tree, we carved our names
I know they're still there today because, because

[Post-Chorus]
The future might change, but the past stays the same
Stays the same, stays the same, stays the same
The future might change, but the past stays the same
Stays the same, stays the same
The future might change, but the past stays the same

[Verse 2]
Memories won't fade
Picture perfect in my brain
What once was still remains

[Pre-Chorus]
Just like I said I'm not quite ready, no, I'm not quite ready
No, I'm not quite ready to forget it

[Chorus]
Do you remember all the plans we made?
All the plays we saved for rainy days
Things didn't turn out that way
'Cause things change, things change
Do you remember all the games we played?
On the bark of the tree, we carved our names
I know they're still there today because, because

[Post-Chorus]
The future might change, but the past stays the same
Stays the same, stays the same, stays the same
The future might change, but the past stays the same
Stays the same, stays the same
The future might change, but the past stays the same

[Bridge]
The future might change, but the past stays the same
The future might change, but the past stays the same

[Chorus]
Do you remember all the plans we made?
All the plays we saved for rainy days
Things didn't turn out that way
'Cause things change, things change
Do you remember all the games we played?
On the bark of the tree, we carved our names
I know they're still there today because, because

[Post-Chorus]
The future might change, but the past stays the same
Stays the same, stays the same, stays the same
The future might change, but the past stays the same
Stays the same, stays the same
The future might change, but the past stays the same
