Things Aren't Gonna Change

Well I've been drinking for days and I'm happy to say

That we've been leading you on so you'd do it our way

You've had a little success but aren't too hard to impress

So raise your standards, change your number

It's for the best



And though I don't want you to stay

There's something about the way that

You say the words that you've rehearsed

I think I should explain

Things aren't gonna change

And last October when it took over

The boy was grabbed by his new controller

I'm shifting all the blame

But I still feel the same



I didn't know what to say when I saw you alone

You say you do what you want but you do what you're told

I fell in love with your gaze, I fell in love with your name

We need to know what to say if we're playing your games



And though I don't want you to stay

There's something about the way that

You say the words that you've rehearsed

I think I should explain

Things aren't gonna change

And last October when it took over

The boy was grabbed by his new controller

I'm shifting all the blame

But I still feel the same



And though it makes no difference I still know that

It's got nothing to do with the way I am around you
