Things Change
Camille And Stuie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was sitting here 10 years ago
Lost on a dark crossroad
Things change

I'm still here But i cant believe
These little faces that look like me
Things change
One two three
Start making memories
four five six
Life just passes by so quick
seven eight nine
You will turn around and find
Things change

Like a tree he was so tall and strong
Than one day he was gone
Things change

But in the twinkle of an eye
I heard our little babies cry
Things Change

One two three
Start making memories
four five six
Life just passes by so quick
seven eight nine
You will turn around and find
Things change

With his little bag and uniform
I hear the bell, my heart is torn
Things Change
It takes me back to my first day
Teary eyed, my mortal way
Things change

One two three
Start making memories
four five six
Life just passes by so quick
seven eight nine
You will turn around and find
Things change

I was sitting here 10 years ago




Lost in a dark crossroad
Things change

Overall Meaning

The song "Things Change" by Camille and Stuie is a poignant ballad that reflects on the way life changes over time. The first verse, "I was sitting here 10 years ago, Lost on a dark crossroad, Things change," is a powerful statement about the transformative power of time. The singer is reflecting on how they have grown and changed since they were lost on that dark road, and how life has shifted around them.


The chorus of the song, "One two three, Start making memories, four five six, Life just passes by so quick, seven eight nine, You will turn around and find, Things change," drives home the message of the song. Life is fleeting, and we must be proactive in capturing and cherishing the moments that matter most.


The final verse is particularly poignant, as the singer reflects on the passage of time through the lens of their own children. "With his little bag and uniform, I hear the bell, my heart is torn, Things change," they sing. The line "my heart is torn" drives home the idea that change can be difficult and painful, but that it is a natural part of the cycle of life.


Overall, "Things Change" is a beautiful song that captures the emotional complexity of growing older and watching the world shift and change around us.
