I ain't never going to change

He'll never get in line

I keep moving on the path, yeah

Holding on to mine

When you talk about the past

What are we talking of?

Did I let go too fast?

Was I holding on too long?

     F
Ain't no truths from the past

As silent as the sea

Am I holding on too long?

But you're right in front of me

And I'm moving on a cast
       Am
Shadows on my seam

I keep moving to changes, yeah
G
Ooh
