Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The day starts like the rest I've seen
Another carbon copy of where I've already been
Days keep coming, one out, one in
They keep coming
I don't know what I wish I had
But there's no time now for thinking things like that
I've got too much to do
Too much to do
We've got too much to do
Too much to do
[Chorus]
Opening up
Letting the day in
Pour you a cup
And say "Hello, how you been?"
Looking around
Seeing the same things
It's comforting how
Some things never change
Never change
Never change
Do they?
[Verse 2]
I wouldn't call this place a happy end
But I've been 'round the block and just came back again
Could be worse, so make it work, no place is perfect, hey
I'm no good in the outside world
Because I feel too much and find it usually hurts
I like the way most of the days look exactly the same
[Chorus]
Opening up
Every day starts
Over a cup served with
"Hello, how you been?"
Welcome it in
Whatever the day brings
More of the same things
[Bridge]
Check the clock, tick-tick-tock
Don't stop, serve with a smile
Hurry up, fill the coffee cup
And then in a while
Take a breath when you need
To be reminded that with days like these
We can only do the best we can
Then do it all again
[Bridge]
It's the heartbeat
The center
The lifeline
You enter
It's the heartbeat
The heartbeat
It's the center
The center
The lifeline
The lifeline
You enter
You enter
It's the heartbeat
It's the heartbeat
The center
The center
The lifeline
Lifeline
You enter
[Chorus]
Opening up
Letting the day in
Pour you a cup
And say "Hello, how you been?"
Looking around
Seeing the same things
It's comforting how
Some things never change
Never change
Never change
They never change
