Lyrics

Blame It on the Changes (Acoustic)

I lay down, I can't sleep

My mind runs on repeat

I stare at the ceiling from my side

I reach out, you're right there

But you're lost in the details

I wait for the end of the long night

You can blame it on the changes

I can take it anyway it is

We just got lost but we both found

We need this more than ever

Can we take it? Can we save it?

Sick of keeping, tired of waiting

Can we hold down? Can you hold on?

'Cause I need you more than you know now

We play like we don't know

We both lie, but we don't show

It's something that's changing between us

You start out in one lane

The same road, the same name

But something we can't see divides us

You can blame it on the changes

I can take it anyway it is

We just got lost but we both found

We need this more than ever

Can we take it? Can we save it?

Sick of keeping, tired of waiting

Can we hold down? Can you hold on?

'Cause I need you more than you know now

'Cause I need you more than you know now

'Cause I need you more than you know now

(Don't run away, don't run away)

'Cause I need you more than you know now

(Don't run away, don't run away)

You can blame it on the changes

I can take it anyway it is

We just got lost but we both found

We need this more than ever

Can we take it? Can we save it?

Sick of keeping, tired of waiting

Can we hold down? Can you hold on?

'Cause I need this more than ever

'Cause I need you more than you know now
