Things Change

How will you ever learn

When your hands are tied and your bridges burned?

When will you get to see that your only option lies with me?

Must you be kicked right down, ripped from limb

Taught to drown, but told to swim?

The way to be, the way to act is

Not to preach what you practice

Things change, but a pattern is present, a formula remains

Things needn't be so if you let me through

How will you ever learn

When your hands are tied and your bridges burned?

When will you get to see that your only option lies with me?

Must you be kicked right down, ripped from limb

Taught to drown, but taught to swim?

The way to be, the way to act is

Not to preach what you practice

Things change, but a pattern is present, a formula remains

Things needn't be so if you let me through

It must be true, she said I found you

How will you ever learn

When your hands are tied and your bridges burned?

When will you get to see that your only option lies with me?

Must you be kicked right down, ripped from limb

Taught to drown, but taught to swim?

The way to be, the way to act is

Come on, thick head
