I miss the summer, I miss the summer in the city
But I feel like I don't belong there anymore
And if you told me those things were only possibilities
It'd only make me, it'd only make me miss it more
This is the change we always talkin' about
This is the change we been livin' without
No matter how perfect it ain't ever perfect enough
And me and all my friends, we never stop to look around
The older I get, I get tired of all this stuff
Sometimes life has to beat you down just to lift you up
This is the change we always talkin' about
This is the change we been livin' without
It smells like flowers and the room's so bright
I'm just afraid it might not last
Like all those dusty things that point us back
To a time not unlike this, maybe it's just that
We were more aware of how much time we had in front of us
But if you're free, come be with me
This is the change we always talkin' about
