Change Is Good
Song A Day #1657

I got a chipped front tooth
From biting my nails
I don't have any cavities though
There's a soft breeze blowing
Wind for my sails
And it smells like something new

There's a study just published 
That nostalgia is good for you
That it can make you less bored l
less stressed and less lonely 
If that's true then I'm probably 
Doing all right
Cause last week is the good 'ol days to me

And change is good
But change is hard
An empty room catches you off guard 
All the mindfulness of impermanence 
Doesn't take the sting away 
And change is good
But it comes so quick
And you rebuild things brick by brick
But the sun beats down and you're sure that you
Just want things to stay
The way they were

My hair grows quick
My beard grows quicker
My widows peak gets higher 
I don't have time
And when I do
I just want to play video games

I want a whole week
Just to shut everything down
To cancel everything and 
Just do what I want
I'm not sure how things got out of hand
I gotta do what I can
I gotta work with what I got

Caught between the place where I'm supposed to be and where I'm going
This heavy lifting bumming me out I am always  throwing
Out my back by carrying all this stuff around that I don't
Need 

I got one hour
And maybe some change
To make this song a reality
And then I gotta pack
Then catch a train
But first go to therapy

There's a study just published 
That nostalgia is good for you
That it can make you less bored l
less stressed and less lonely 
If that's true then I'm probably 
Doing all right
Cause last week is the good 'ol days to me

And change is good
But change is hard
An empty room catches you off guard 
All the mindfulness of impermanence 
Doesn't take the sting away 
And change is good
But it comes so quick
And you rebuild things brick by brick
But the sun beats down and you're sure that you
Just want things to stay
The way they were
