Lyrics
I guess I wondered
How we’ve changed
So I keep going back
To the lake to wait
But nobody’s there
Listening right now
I guess some rain
You can’t escape
In spite the layers
Of care
Beneath our clothes
Each body holds
A memory of how
Stable I’ll return
With lessons
That I thought
I’d learned
But if nobody is listening
Only the rain
Will know what secrets
We know now
Sable I just learned
Sometimes I wish
I’d never gone
You thanked me
For my hour of care
I wasn’t there
To save you from your doubt
I guess
Some things never change
If every song
Remains the same
I’m no better than
Society
I’m blind to
What’s in front of me
Right now
Stable I’ll return
With lessons
That I thought
I’d learned
But if nobody is listening
Only the rain
Will know what secrets
We know now
Sable I just learned
Sometimes I wish
I’d never gone
You thanked me
For my hour of care
I wasn’t there
To save you from your doubt
I guess
Some things they never change
I guess
Some things they never change
I guess
Some things never change
