Sometimes I stare out my window For hours waiting for something to happen Sometimes it starts raining in the morning And that makes me feel like I'm not alone I used to hate it when it pours But now I love it when it pours Cause it feels like the sky is crying And I, I'm crying too Some people change Some people change Some people change But you never do Some people change Some people change Some people change But you never do Sometimes I get scared that I'm gonna be alone For too long of a time And sometimes I think that being alone is just fine At least you don't get hurt I used to hate it when it pours But now I love it when it pours So I listen to Stevie and tune out my thoughts I'm just listening to Stevie and tuning out my thoughts Some people change Some people change Some people change But you never do Some people change Some people change Some people change But you never do Some people change Some people change Some people change But you never do Some people change Some people change Some people change But you never do And I, I wanna believe every word that you say Just like I wanna believe that I'm gonna be okay I listen to Stevie and tune out my thoughts I'm just listening to Stevie and tuning out my thoughts I listen to Stevie and tune out my thoughts I'm just listening to Stevie and tuning out my thoughts Some people change Some people change Some people change But you never do Some people change Some people change Some people change But you never do Some people change Some people change Some people change But you never do Some people change Some people change Some people change But you never do

Oh I tried for years to write you a song But each time I'd try to write it It'd come out wrong When I was younger I was so blind I couldn't read between the lines And instead I'd just cry Instead I'd just cry Oh I used to look in the mirror And ask myself why I wasn't pretty like her And I was always somewhat empty inside But even the empty feel more empty When they cry Oh I was so empty Oh and if you would think to just tell me the truth Hurt my feelings just once so I could get over you I was everywhere, nothingness, falling apart I was dumb as a rock didn't know where to start Now I'm older, not wiser, but been through this more Don't know what I was thinking Don't know if I was thinking Oh you had me everywhere, you had me everywhere You were here, you were there, but I was everywhere There's no need to say sorry It wasn't your fault It's my own self delusion I just got caught But when you were here, I was here When you were there, I was there When you were here, I was here When you were there, I was there And leaving your waiting room was so hard for me To let go and to tune into reality I couldn't tell you what was going through my head But when I left your waiting room I was half dead I left your waiting room half dead I left your waiting room half dead I left your waiting room half dead

It's hot in Austin, but it's cold in this room I blame timing, but we both know that it's not that I'm numb now, I don't feel anything anymore I don't feel anything anymore Sometimes you're where I need you to be But other times you're so far away And all the flowers in our garden were dying When you asked me why I was crying When you told me it would all be alright And I want you, I swear I'd love you But I'm giving up on you, you're making me blue I never know what to say to you ever, like ever, oh, oh I tell my friends all the time that I'm giving up on you That's a lie we both know that it's not true And here I am at your door Once again and what for You mean too much to me I'd give up on you only if you'd give up on me And all the flowers in our garden were dying When you asked me why I was crying When you told me it would all be alright And I want you, I swear I'd love you But I'm giving up on you, you're making me blue I never know what to say to you ever, like ever, oh, oh All the flowers in our garden were dying When you asked me why I was crying When you told me it would all be alright And I want you, I swear I'd love you But I'm giving up on you, you're making me blue I never know what to say to you ever, like ever, oh, oh

Hazy 04:06
Looking back at old pictures You've got your arm around me I'm as happy as can be I could've sworn I saw you on the street The other day But I know that it wasn't you But if it was you, I'd have a million questions for you It's been a while since we last talked Like we used to And I wanna know What are you up to And oh, please forgive me If I've been distant lately It's that things are crazy And everything feels some sort of hazy And do, things ever remind you of me Maybe the places you see Or the way that I'd be Or am I just a distant memory You were in my dream the other night You were saying something stupid And making me laugh like nobody else does You don't wait for the storm to pass You dance in the rain I wish I was that way I know we're friends and I try to be But things are messy sometimes And it's hard for me To let you in again just to let you go again But please know And oh, please forgive me If I've been distant lately It's that things are crazy And everything feels some sort of hazy And do, things ever remind you of me Maybe the places you see Or the way that I'd be Or am I just a distant memory
