Everything Changes
Joy And The Boy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There was a time when I thought of no other
And we sang our own love's refrain
And out hearts beat as one as we had our fun
But time changes everything

And when you left me, my poor heart was broken
Our romance seemed all in vain
The dark clouds are gone and there's blue skies again
Yes time changes everything

The time has passed and I have forgot you
Mother nature does wonderful things
I guess it is true for me and for you
Cause time changes everything

Oh you can change the name of an old song
Rearrange it and make it swing
I thought nothing could stop me from loving you
But time changes everything

So good luck to you, may God bless you
I can't say we won't love again




You have gone your way and I'll go mine
Cause time changes everything

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Joy And The Boy's song Everything Changes reflect on the ever-changing nature of life and love. The first verse sets a nostalgic tone, reminiscing about the past when the singer was deeply in love with their partner, and they enjoyed their moments together. However, as time passes, everything changes, and the love that was once so pure and real becomes elusive. The second verse highlights the pain of heartbreak when the singer's partner left, and their love seemed to have been in vain. But as time moves on, the pain diminishes, and life moves on, bringing new joys and opportunities. The third stanza suggests that time heals all wounds, and the singer has moved on from their past love, and even forgotten about them. This verse refers to the natural cycle of life and how things evolve over time.


The chorus reinforces the central theme of the song, that everything changes with time, and nothing stays the same. It expresses the belief that even the strongest of emotions - such as the singer's love for their partner - change over time, and it is hard to resist the natural process of change. The final verse acknowledges that despite the changes, life goes on, and the singer wishes their former lover the best, acknowledging that they have gone their separate ways.


Overall, Everything Changes is a poignant reminder that change is inevitable, and we must learn to accept it and move on. The song's message is timeless, and the lyrics are a beautiful reflection of the human experience.

And we sang our own love's refrain
We used to sing our own love song repeatedly

But time changes everything
Unfortunately, time alters everything


And when you left me, my poor heart was broken
I was devastated when you left me

Our love story appeared to be pointless


The dark clouds are gone and there's blue skies again
The bad times are over, and good times have returned

Rearrange it and transform it into a lively melody

I can't say that we won't fall in love again

You've chosen your path, and I'll choose mine

Because time alters everything
