Changes

They're tearing up the carpet in my bedroom
The same one that I laid on when I called you
Get to scraping off the stars up above you
They glowed in the dark
The plastic charms that I prayed to

And every room that I have ever stood in
Will settle back into the ground someday
A wrecking ball or a tree that falls
Or a fire will eradicate that place

In the town where I grew up they built a mountain
It's poisoning the houses that surround it
Though you pulled me far from home I never minded
We exited right as the buzzer sounded

And every home that I have ever lived in
Will break away into the sound someday
But I'll still try to find a home
Wherever we can be alone and safe

Through the changes
All the changes
Oh the axle will break and the wheel will shake
Through the changes

And down the hallway through the open door I see you
You're yelling to me unintelligibly and I miss you
I know it's only a memory
And you're watching me as I close the door and I leave you

To the changes
All the changes
All the memories stay but the clarity fades
Through the changes

All the headquarters break and the warehouses cave
And the parking lots bloom into forests one day
And while I am awake I will keep my heart safe
