Nothing Changes
[Verse 1]
Cleaned up today
In the garage, putting stuff in bags
I saw a ghost
Spinning on skates i forgot i had
Hidden away behind a dusty painting
I found some books
In the front page
My handwriting said "secret, dont look"
[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing changes
Nothing changes
Go ahead set your hopes high
Nothing changes
However hard you try
[Verse 2]
Turned one over in my hands
Cinema ticket taped there by a past self
Opened a page
Date at the top said "June 2012
Dear diary, I'm afraid of growing up
I'm beginning to see the worst in everything"
I shrank my skin
Tasted new daydreams kept in heart-shaped words
My little twin laughed under a duvet at the sleepover
She says "one day, I will find out who I am"
Oh if she knew
[Chorus]
Nothing changes
Nothing changes, go ahead set your hopes high
But nothing changes, however hard you try
Oh
[Verse 3]
I checked the time
It had been 2 hours, I went to the bin
But my hands froze
I couldn't make myself put them in
I'll live with ghosts
Bygone BFFs, dolls in a drawer
The colours of a plasticine love I knew before
[Chorus]
Nothing changes
Nothing changes, go ahead, set your hopes high
Nothing changes, if you never even try
Cleaned up today
