[INTRO]
[VERSE 1]
Change comes in like a rising tide
Ain t no reason ain t no signs
It s just the way future will turn
It s just the way the barricades burn
Take one step up take a step on a crack
Daddy said it ain t no good to run with a pack
So I m just going be stumbling on down this road
Where it goes I ain t supposed know
[CHORUS]
It ain t ever gonna be like it used to be
Ain t ever gonna be like it used to be
If I wait all my life I ll just wait and see
It ain t ever gonna be like it used to be
[VERSE 2]
Love shows up and love goes south
Love knows it all ain t got no doubts
I can t hang on only losers weep
Somebody ain t nobody anybody can keep
[CHORUS]
It ain t ever gonna be like it used to be
Don t want to say goodbye but it ll set me free
If I wait all my life I ll just wait and see
It ain t ever gonna be like it used to be
[INSTRUMENTAL]
[BRIDGE]
You might say you will but you know you won t
You might think you do but you know you don t
And once you give it up there ain t no getting it back
It don t matter if you re Cyrano de Bergerac
I m ain t looking back I m just looking up
I ain t no fool but I never know much
Momma told me baby just grab it and run
You gotta take your shot or it ll take you down
[CHORUS]
It ain t ever gonna be like it used to be
Don t want to say goodbye but it ll set me free
If I wait all my life I ll just wait and see
It ain t ever gonna be ever gonna be ever gonna be ever gonna be like it used to be
