Everything Changes But You
Take That Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything changes but you
We've said goodbye, the taxi cab is waiting
Now don't you cry, just one more kiss, before I have to go
Hey, girl, I know the situation changed and so much is new
But something in my life remains the same 'cause
We're a thousand miles apart but you know, I love you
Everything changes but you
You know every single day, I'll be thinkin' about you
The rumor's true, you know that there 've been others
What can I do? I tell you baby, they don't mean a thing
Now, girl don't go and throw our love away
I'll be home soon back in your arms to hear you say that
Everything changes but you
We're a thousand miles apart but you know, I love you
Everything changes but you
You know every single day, I'll be thinkin' about you, girl
Everything changes but you
We're a thousand miles apart but you know I love you, I do
Everything changes but you
I'll spend every single day thinkin' about you
Though everything changes around us
Baby, don't you cry
We will be the same as before more, forever
Everything changes but you
We're a thousand miles apart and I miss you, baby
Everything changes but you
You know every single day, I'll be thinkin' about you, girl
Everything changes but you
I'll be thinkin' about you, thinkin' about you
Everything changes but you
'Cause you know I love you, know that I love you
Everything changes but you
I'll be thinkin' about you, thinkin' about you
Everything changes but you
I love you, I love you
The song "Everything Changes But You" by Take That is about a man who is leaving his lover to pursue his dreams but assures her that despite the changes in their lives, his love for her remains constant. The lyrics suggest that everything else in life is uncertain and changes, but the love between the two people is unwavering. The singer acknowledges that there have been rumors of him being with other women, but he assures his lover that they do not mean anything and he will always come back to her. The chorus repeats the phrase "everything changes but you" to emphasize the central idea of the song.
The song's lyrics capture the common theme of love and the struggle to maintain a relationship despite the circumstances. It is relatable to anyone who has had to leave a loved one for some reason, either for work or other obligations, and the comfort we find in knowing that despite the distance and everything else that changes in our lives, love keeps us connected.

@rollthedice-zn5or
Great nostalgia with this one :)
@Sibila1983
They were so sweet and young....their music brings so many teenage memories so my perception might be distorted but, still makes me feel the happiest person and I think it is because they exude that, youthfulness, positivity and energy. I love them!
