American Aquarium - Things Change Lyrics






Things change
And people don't stay the same
It's all just one big game
Until I realized

She was the one
Who stood there by my side
God knows that woman tried
To make me better

But I let here down
And the fight was never fair
I took more than my share
And kept on takin'

White noise
Like the peaceful highway home
I grew numb to the sound
Of her heart breakin'

Things change
And people don't stay the same
It's all just one big game
Until you realize
That you gotta put some skin in
Give up everything you've known
'Til the thought of bein' alone
Don't keep you up at night
Things change

I wasn't well
My will was anything but strong
If there was a wrong turn to take
I took it

'Til all that was left
Was a shell of who I was
Burned out on love
Broke down and bitter

She pulled me out
My sacred siren song
She came alone
To spark the dyin' embers

Things change
And people don't stay the same
It's all just one big game
Until you realize
That you gotta put some skin in
Give up everything you've known
'Til the thought of bein' alone
Don't keep you up at night
Things change

    trump 2020!!!!

  2. M.... R....

    Do also check out "Heaven" by Brett Dennen (at link); it was released ten years before this song (in 2008), and speaks about the same things. In 2008, it was the minutemen and border patrol; in 2018 and beyond, it's the wall.

    Someone below commented this was and anti Trump message. I do not hear that, I hear a message about the sorry state of the world we all live in and that you cannot give up on it.

    M.... C....

    Yeah, you missed the point.

    M.... C....

    So? it IS anti Trump then?

    M.... C....

    @Ali Bishop Yeah. Heard them talking about it in an interview.. not just Trump.. also some of the general environment in the US right now

  4. A.... R....

    Best band out of North Carolina

  5. s.... ....

    Think you - fear not the answer - hate not the answer we as American are better than this !

  6. p.... ....

    I still can't decide if I like this song or Isbell's Hope The High Road better. Aw hell, it's a tie!

  10. D.... B....

    This resonates right to the bones today.

  11. M.... R....

    Heard this song today (19.09.2018) on Estonia's commercial Kuku Radio. The show was "Metsik Lääs" (The Wild West). The song's really really good, and the lyrics get straight to the heart.

  12. V.... F....

    Finally, the great American anti-Trump song. Thank you. We need it!

  13. D.... G....

    This deserves a billion view foreal.....we all goijg to hell at the end

    J.... O....

    TRUMP 2020 baby!

  15. R.... A....

    Just saw this band. They bashed the bible and called out people drinking in the crowd. Lame.

    R.... A....

    The One after the show all if my friends were like thanks for the tickets "I bought 10 for everyone" but this style of band isn't my cup of tea. I was surprised myself.

    R.... A....

    I think you are a liar.

    R.... A....

    @NerdyWriter nope.

    R.... A....

    Nice try troll!

    R.... A....

    100% full of crap. Not BJ's style at all.

    G.... D....

    Trump 2020 Baby!

  20. T.... R....

    TRUMP 2020, fight for the 2nd amendment. Make American Great Again!!

    T.... R....

    Piss off!

    T.... R....

    I mean I believe in the second amendment but this song literally speaks against "the Trump wall"

    T.... R....

    Russian bot.

    T.... R....

    Hispanic right winger

    T.... R....

    lets give all the kids prescriptions and then blame guns!

  21. G.... G....

    Whatever the question - LOVE is the answer. "Go boldly into the darkness and BE THE LIGHT." Beautiful sentiment.

  22. E.... ....

    Bruce Springsteen’s new band is awesome!!!

  23. M.... T....

    A stunner! I'm not American, but obviously all this affects the rest of us too.

  24. W.... C....

    Good stuff as usual

  25. a.... ....

    BJ, your lyrics are so true in every song you write. You (Corey Smith and Danny Boone) are the writer I wish I could be. Every lyric you write is synonymous with my life. Congratulations on the new members, and keep doing what you do!!!
