Things Change (Atlantic Connection Extended Mix)

I don't know why these things happen
I don't know why these things change
But I've been around long enough to know
It gets better
And I've been around long enough to know
Things change

I have left myself out in the rain
Waiting for the car in the drive
Hoping it will pick up the same
When the time finally arrives

Watching street lamps flicker as the random cats slink by
Playing absently with fingers and trying not to cry
I could sit here all night not to guess but just to know
Is it gonna be right or will i just have to go home

I don't know why these things happen
I don't know why these things change
But I've been around long enough to know
It gets better
And I've been around long enough to know
Things change

Running through my actions and pretending not to care
I contemplate reactions and I pull out strands of hair
Eyes that feel heavy start to fail with the time
Have to keep them steady if you're going to be mine

Repeat my mantra repeat my mantra
This too shall pass
Roll up the window turn on the headlight
This too shall pass
