Subject To Change
Major League Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I enjoy the company lately but
You and I are a crowd so I hope
You can understand that tonight
I wanna be with an old friend I've been missing

If I hold this in just one more day
I'm pretty sure I'm bound to break
I've waited way too long to get this off my chest
(But I know!)

I've been barking up the same damn tree
for the past two years
And maybe this time it's no one else's fault
But my own
Believe me I'm sorry if you took things too personally

I don't know where I've been for these past few months
I can't believe that I got this low
I've listened to the "Upsides" B-Side
Looking for the answers to what you've been asking
I've been preaching "Keep your Head Up, Kid!"
When all along I've had mine buried in the sand and
I think thats got to do with everything we never talked about

People constantly change all around me
The friends I had are completely different now
They've all been hyped up on shit and its making me sick
It's getting painful to watch them fail

I've been tracing these sidewalks
Until these side streets got the best of me
I'm a sucker for memories
(And the way things used to be)

I don't know where I've been for these past few months
I can't believe that I got this low
I've listened to the "Upsides" B-Side
Looking for the answers to what you've been asking
I've been preaching "Keep your Head Up, Kid!"
When all along I've had mine buried in the sand and
I think that's got to do with everything we never talked about

I think I've gotten better at letting shit go
Like that time down on market
Where we told Sixx I'm sorry
Or that time that Mike B. stopped calling completely




But let's be honest
Who The Fuck Am I Kidding?

Line by Line Meaning

I enjoy the company lately but
I've been enjoying our time together, but


You and I are a crowd so I hope
Since there are so many people here, I hope


You can understand that tonight
You can understand that I want to do something else tonight


I wanna be with an old friend I've been missing
I want to spend time with an old friend that I've been thinking about


If I hold this in just one more day
If I keep this to myself for any longer


I'm pretty sure I'm bound to break
I'm going to end up emotionally breaking down


I've waited way too long to get this off my chest
I've been holding onto this for too long without talking about it


(But I know!)
(Even though)


I've been barking up the same damn tree
I've been trying the same thing over and over


for the past two years
for the last two years


And maybe this time it's no one else's fault
Maybe it's not anyone else's fault this time


But my own
But mine


Believe me I'm sorry if you took things too personally
I'm sorry if you were offended by me


I don't know where I've been for these past few months
I'm not sure where I've been mentally for the past few months


I can't believe that I got this low
I can't believe I've hit this emotional low point


I've listened to the "Upsides" B-Side
I've been listening to the lesser-known songs from an album called 'The Upsides'


Looking for the answers to what you've been asking
Trying to find answers to your questions


I've been preaching "Keep your Head Up, Kid!"
I've been telling others to stay positive


When all along I've had mine buried in the sand and
When all along I've been ignoring my own problems and


I think that's got to do with everything we never talked about
I believe it's because we haven't discussed certain issues


People constantly change all around me
The people I know are always changing


The friends I had are completely different now
My friends are now completely different people


They've all been hyped up on shit and its making me sick
They're all on this hype train that I'm not into and it's bothering me


It's getting painful to watch them fail
It's hard to see them struggle and not achieve their goals


I've been tracing these sidewalks
I've been walking around a lot


Until these side streets got the best of me
Until I started feeling overwhelmed and defeated


I'm a sucker for memories
I love remembering good times in the past


(And the way things used to be)
(And the way things were before)


Who The Fuck Am I Kidding?
Who am I fooling?
