Cerulean - Things Change

You don't have to say
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry"
I know you feel that way
And I'm sorry, for you
You don't have to say
"Hey"
We'll always have our heyday
Before things changed
When the sky was California blue
When a thousand lotus flowers bloomed
But everything must move
I'd have given you my all in a hurry
Been your hubby
But you wanted to write another story
You do you
But don't expect me to stay the same
I'm on a different plane
Yeah things change
The sky has turned from blue to grey
I'm a swimmer lost out in the waves
But the tide will turn today
So I'm drawn back to Eastleigh
A smalltown dreamer is something to be
When the Western sky seems grey
The East, heavenly
Yeah things change
The sky will turn from grey to blue
(Plant some seeds in the ground)
Just wait you'll see the flowers bloom
(Give it time you'll be found)
The waves will churn, out in the sea
(Listen for the sound)
The leaves will turn from brown to green
(Of hope being found)
There's no slate to be wiped clean
So don't feel at all sorry, don't worry
Yeah my hometown's small
But I'll find glory
From here
And this time I won't feel ashamed
To say
I'm not sorry for what I've made
Yeah I have changed
The oak from the acorn grew
(The wildest river was a raindrop too)
The lotus flower was once a seed
(The apple growing on Newton's tree)
The smallest town becomes the capital
(The capital loses it all)
This place was once a footprint
(Of one who walked out)
I know this song started in a minor key
It began when I came back to Eastleigh
But I spent this year dreaming up this LP
It's bringing back some happy memories
Like my birthday Nando's when I was fifteen
Adam got candles lit on my chicken
(Woo woo)
A decade later I'm back on the scene
(A little bit older got a Master's degree)
But I'm still that young master
Playing Pokémon Green
So we took our iPhones out and shot some scenes
(Tahh tahh)
Put them on YouTube and Ben's 'bookie
Next thing you know I'm on the BBC
London's calling but I ain't ready
Things change, if you know what I mean
Things change
So let's blur the lines
Between our lives and our dreams
Between the future and the air that we breathe
