Things Change
Echoes of Transformation
Lyrics
Now I don't have the clearest recollection
Expressing uncertainty or haziness in remembering details about the person being referred to.
Of the car you drove nor the colour of your eyes
Unable to recall specific details like the car and eye color of the person in question.
But you've been turnin' up again in conversation
Notices the person coming up in conversations unexpectedly.
Now and then to my surprise
Surprised by the recurrence of thoughts or mentions of the person.
Well there's a buzz around your latest exhibition
Aware of positive attention surrounding the person's recent artistic display or achievement.
And all the glowing adulation that you've had
Acknowledging the admiration and praise received by the person.
Me I've fallen out of practice I haven't
Personally experiencing a decline in artistic activity since the departure of the person.
Put the paint to canvas since you left
Has not engaged in painting since the person left.
And I keep learning more about you
Continues to discover more information about the person.
And all the changes you've been through
Acknowledges the changes the person has undergone.
Well I changed too
Expresses personal change in response to the events or separation.
Yeah I changed too
Reiterates personal transformation in parallel with the person in question.
And there's a general consensus you seem happy
Notices a shared perception that the person is currently happy and more expressive.
And that you laugh and smile and sing a little more
Details positive changes in the person's demeanor, including laughter, smiles, and singing.
It's not a compliment I've gotten
Acknowledges a lack of compliments received for personal changes.
but I'm not gettin' out as often as before
Admits a reduction in social activities compared to the past.
And I heard you'd settled somewhere in the country
Heard about the person settling in a rural area and completing the payment for their house.
You even made the final payment on your house
Recognizes a significant life event for the person but expresses uncertainty about their return.
Well I thought maybe you'd come back
Initially had hope for the person's return but now less confident about it.
But I'm not half as confident about it now
Decreased confidence in the likelihood of the person's return.
And I keep learning more about you
Continues to gather information about the person.
And all the changes you've been through
Reflects on the changes experienced by the person.
Well I changed too
Reiterates personal transformation in response to the unfolding events.
Lord, I've changed too
Emphasizes personal change and transformation.
