Lyrics Change - Big Thief

Change

Change, like the wind, like the water, like skin
Change, like the sky, like the leaves, like a butterfly
Would you live forever and never die
While everything around passes?
Would you smile forever and never cry
While everything you know passes?
Death, like a door to a place we’ve never been before
Death, like space, the deep sea, a suitcase
Would you stare forever at the sun
Never watch the moon rising?
Would you walk forever in the light
To never learn the secrets of the quiet night?
Still, like a stone, like a hill, like home
Still, what I find
Is you were always on my mind
Could I feel happy for you
When I hear you talk with her like we used to?
Could I set everything free
When I watch you holding her the way you once held me?
Change, like the sky, like the leaves, like a butterfly
