Nothing Changes - PUP

I sit and I watch the clock

I picture you on the rocks

I’m easing your trace, a new coat of paint

A new set of locks, a new mattress

The same old bitter thoughts

Thought I could fill the void

But if I’m being honest with myself

Nothing ever changes, no nothing ever changes

Thought I could just crank up the noise

And maybe it would drown it out

But nothing ever changes, no nothing ever changes

And now I just stay in bed

Reading books I’ve already read

Playing guitar, I’m learning to shred

But it’s too hard, so I strum chords instead

Like it would fill the void

But if I’m being honest with myself

Nothing ever changes, no nothing ever changes

Thought I could just crank up the noise

And maybe it would drown it out

But nothing ever changes, no nothing ever changes

I sit and I watch the clock

I picture you on the rocks

I’m easing your trace, a new coat of paint

A new set of locks, a new mattress

The same old bitter thoughts

And even if the wait is long

And all the words are wrong

Put the recorder on and I’ll begin again

I just need a quiet lull

Some books and alcohol

To get me through the night

And I’ll begin again

I’ll get through the night

And I’ll begin again

Yeah, I’ll get through the night

And I’ll begin again
