Never Change

When I was seventeen years old
I was taking the subway back home
Saturday night, car was full
I had my bass, I'd just finished a show

I didn't notice you sit down
I was looking at the ground
And you didn't make a sound
But I felt your eyes on me

I didn't pay you any mind
I got weird looks all the time
Crowded train bass by my side
Can sometimes make for an awkward ride

But at your stop before you had to go
You got up and cleared your throat
Got my attention, handed me a note
And this is what it said:

"Never change
The right people will love you humble and quiet
Do what you love in life with passion
But never change"

And now I'm twenty-three years old
I still think about what you wrote
In fact I still keep your note
In a drawer in my studio

It's amazing how a simple act
Can cause an everlasting impact
And I don't know if I'll ever see you again

So I don't care if it takes me years
To get this song to reach your ears
And recognize what you hear as a thank you

Never change
The right people will love you humble and quiet
Do what you love in life with passion
But never change
The right people will love you humble and quiet
Do what you love in life with passion
But never change

It's amazing how a simple act
Can cause an everlasting impact
And I don't know if I'll ever see you again

So I don't care if it takes me years
To get this song to reach your ears
And recognize what you hear as a thank you

Never change
The right people will love you humble and quiet
Do what you love in life with passion
But never change
The right people will love you humble and quiet
Do what you love in life with passion
But never change

It was early 2015
We were on the TTC
And you gave a note to me
You signed it "Kinga"

Thank you, Kinga
