lyrics

Everything changes
I always swore that I would stand tall even hobbling on one leg
All I can do is ask of you not to make me beg
My desperate pride from deep down inside will grant protection from the rain
This old heart of mine’s too fragile, you’ll find, it would never stand the pain

I can trust you with the good times, the laughter in the sun
I thought that misery would never catch up with me, out here on the run
But I can’t trust you with my truth, I can’t trust you with my heart
I’m heading for the border with a heartache in pursuit, I got a couple of hours headstart

Chorus
Everything changes with a blue-bolt flash and a wistful smile
A jealous heart and a brave-faced front have a certain desperate style
Foundations rock in earthquakes, lifeblood pumps still faster
Walking straight in with my eyes wide open to an uncertain man-made disaster

You put your feet in my shoes, I put my hand in yours
Cogs will turn and fuses will burn all behind closed door
I put my feet in your shoes, you put your hand in mine
The signifier and the signified, I never saw the sign

I put my fate in the capable hands of someone who looks quite like you
I’ll apportion the blame, dodge the comeback the same, some say like I always do
Trepidations tense and a foreboding sense run once more in my veins
As nameless towns slide past my window from a speeding southbound train
