The Sky Turned Into A Drum Machine But The Air Hung Just As Cold And Still As Before

I was singing in the bathroom
When I was staying at your old house
You were sleeping in the next room
So I was keeping my voice down
And I was writing you a song about how it's hard to get along
The more you try, the faster feelings fade
And i looked up and i saw, in that mirror on the wall
That i can write you a hundred songs a day
And I can burn through a thousand miles of tape
And even if we were smiled upon by fate
The key is the only thing that would -
Change
Change

From the graveyards to the ballrooms
Where I knew you would never stay
Of the laughter and thе lightning
In the things you never had a chancе to say
There was anger and affection
And I could no longer tell the two apart
And I saw you there somewhere in the future
With new lovers and your same old broken heart

And the sky up above said, "Don't be afraid of love
Or spend your whole life wishing you were someone else"
And the plants in the yard said "Don't take everything so hard
There's no perfection, you're actually doing very well"
And the trees and the moon
They were pleading with us too
But we refused to hear the things they had to say
And the clouds tried to beg
But they were ignored and neglected
So they cried and it rained the whole night through
And I crawled back into bed with you
