Things Change
The Lulu Raes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No, I knew you once well long ago
When I came knocking on your door
I guess I'll try it another day
Things change

You were a story, a story on my mind
Even with the pages deep inside
I guess I'll find it one day
Things change

And so I looked around there when I saw the sun
She said to take a quick left but I took the right
I said to my soul watch her sickly unfold
The world is watching and it's out of control
I wonder where, where did it go away
I think about you nearly every day
And it takes me quite back and I will get real soon
Still, still walking to the same old tune

Like kinds, and living every day
I'm sorry I may have felt the same
Could you love me
I wanna be your babe
Oh that's fine it happens every day
Things change
Things change

So I trembled alone while you say my name
I sold myself to a higher day
They sold me up I, I touched the sky
Then she went and left me behind
I hate this world I curse your name
I built this world from all the same
But it, could never be

And so you think you know someone
And you think you belong
Until they're sucking your life
And turn it all into rum
This ain't my phone and I'm taking to long
I wanna get out
Yeah I wanna go home
And then I walk downtown to the video store
I come to find it wasn't there no more
Things change
Things get in the way

Like kinds, so living every day
I'm sorry I may have felt the same
Could you love me
I wanna be your babe
Oh that's fine it happens every day

Things change

Overall Meaning

The overall theme of The Lulu Raes's "Things Change" is about how unpredictable and constantly changing life can be, particularly in relationships. The opening line "No, I knew you once well long ago" is a clear indication that the singer and the subject of the song have a complex history that began a long time ago. The lines "I guess I'll try it another day / Things change" are sung in a melancholy tone that suggests the singer has little hope of mending the relationship they once had.


The lines "And so I looked around there when I saw the sun / She said to take a quick left but I took the right" indicate that the singer is lost and doesn't know what direction to go in. The singer realizes that the world is rapidly changing and becoming increasingly difficult to navigate.


The chorus of the song, "Like kinds, so living every day / I'm sorry I may have felt the same / Could you love me / I wanna be your babe / Oh that's fine it happens every day / Things change", highlights the unpredictability of relationships, and the singer's desire to be loved and accepted despite how much they've both changed.


Overall, "Things Change" is a reflective and melancholy song about the uncertainties of life and the changes that inevitably come with it.


Line by Line Meaning

No, I knew you once well long ago
I am familiar with who you used to be


When I came knocking on your door
When I first met you in the past


I guess I'll try it another day
Maybe another day we will reconcile


Things change
People change over time


You were a story, a story on my mind
You were always on my mind like a story I couldn't forget


Even with the pages deep inside
Even with time passing by, you were still in my thoughts


I guess I'll find it one day
I know I will find the answers I seek someday


Things change
People and things in life change unpredictably


And so I looked around there when I saw the sun
I took a moment to observe my surroundings


She said to take a quick left but I took the right
Someone gave me advice, but I chose my own path


I said to my soul watch her sickly unfold
I felt like my environment was becoming toxic


The world is watching and it's out of control
I felt like everything around me was in chaos


I wonder where, where did it go away
I wonder where things went wrong


I think about you nearly every day
You are still always on my mind


And it takes me quite back and I will get real soon
Thinking of you brings me back to the past and I will confront reality soon


Still, still walking to the same old tune
I am still living a life that is not fulfilling


Like kinds, and living every day
Living life like everyone else


I'm sorry I may have felt the same
I apologize if I ever hurt you too


Could you love me
Can't you love me for who I really am?


I wanna be your babe
I want to be with you


Oh that's fine it happens every day
It's okay, these things happen every day


So I trembled alone while you say my name
I felt vulnerable and alone when you called out my name


I sold myself to a higher day
I put my hope in a better future


They sold me up I, I touched the sky
I believed in something bigger and felt elevated


Then she went and left me behind
But then I was abandoned and left to face reality on my own


I hate this world I curse your name
I don't like the way things are and I blame you for some of it


I built this world from all the same
I contributed to the same problems I am frustrated with


But it, could never be
But things can never remain the same


And so you think you know someone
You think you know someone well


And you think you belong
And you think you are a part of their life


Until they're sucking your life
Until they start to drain you of who you are


And turn it all into rum
And turn your life into something bitter


This ain't my phone and I'm taking to long
I am not on the right path and it's taking me too long to realize


I wanna get out
I want to escape my current situation


Yeah I wanna go home
I want to be in a place where I am comfortable


And then I walk downtown to the video store
I reminisce about the past by visiting places I used to go to


I come to find it wasn't there no more
I realize that things have changed and nothing is the same


Things change
Life changes and we must adapt to it


Things get in the way
Things in life can become obstacles that block our path
