When (Remastered)
Another question-word song, and its pillar is rhythm: everything swings back and forth, and nothing stays the same. It even tells you to skip it if you're not happy, or better yet, to slow down for a moment.
Oh moving
Changing faster
Faster slower
This seems true the whole home over
Things don't stay the same
You're not happy with your life
If you were, you'd not think twice
Skip this track and move along
Dismiss another silly song
There's always problems in your face
Take a moment, slow the pace
Think back to when you were young
And things seemed so much more fun
Oh moving
Changing faster
Faster slower
This seems true the whole town over
Things don't stay the same
Now remember all the snags
The other problems you had
Think of now that you're more grown
The good changed too, offset the moan
Human beings tend to see
The past rose-colored, present be
Full of pain and strife and bad
Drives new changes to be had
Oh moving
Changing faster
Faster slower
This seems true the whole state over
Things don't stay the same
Keep perspective over time
If it helps, put it to rhyme
I didn't leave things wholly good
To see more than the bad now could
Everything's in state of change
From past to future, feel the pain
A reminder you're not done
You've more steps in race to run
Oh moving
Changing faster
Faster slower
This seems true the country over
Things don't stay the same
Stay consistent, keep it small
Keep eye on the mythic ball
With perspective over time
Upward progress you can find
It won't feel good, it won't be fast
But don't keep living in the past
Carve out time to take a breath
So you can gladly dance with death
Oh moving
Changing faster
Faster slower
This seems true the whole world over
Things don't stay the same
No, things don't stay the same
Unless you make them
Things won't stay the same
No, things don't stay the same
Unless you make them
Things won't stay the same
But when will you change it?
Every minute
Every day
Don't let it stay the same
