[Verse 1]
I lived in the country where the dead wood aches
In a house made of stone and a thousand mistakes
Where the glory of morning got crushed by the burden of day
I went down to the seaside, it was light and easy
But it was salt in my wounds, I won't ever be free
Though alone getting drunk on a beach ain't a bad way to be

[Chorus]
But I don't ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever want to change
But I don't ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever want to change
I say your life would be much easier if you only had yourself to blame
But I don't ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever want to change

[Verse 2]
I ran a store for six months
Took a match one night
Left concern impaled on a receipt spike
And all hope petering on a leaky roof
And an electric heater up the back of the room
Well the assessor came early to walk the ashes
Showing high spirits wouldn't have helped my chances
I got the money in a week and for a while everything was fine

[Chorus]
But I don't ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever want to change
But I don't ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever want to change
I say your life would be much easier if you only had yourself to blame
But I don't ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever want to change
[Bridge]
See your doctor
Take the cure
Then you’ve got it made
But the vertigo keeps telling me to stay away
In two weeks flat I’ve seen the Zoloft put my baby in the grave
I'm saying I don't ever want to change
I don't ever want to change
I know my limits well
Seems they're never that far away

I'm saying I don't ever want to change
I don't ever want to change
I know my limits well
Seems they're never that far away

I'm saying I don't ever want to change
I don't ever want to change
I know my limits well
Seems they're never that far away

But I don't ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
But I don't ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
But I don't ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
But I don't ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
