"Stays The Same" lyrics

"Stays The Same"

When we were young,
Before our real lives began
We made hay in the sun
As time has passed
Searching for the greener grass
We forgot how to laugh

Just so you know I'm not quite ready, no, I'm not quite ready
No, I'm not quite ready to give up yet
Not quite ready, no, I'm not quite ready
No, I'm not quite ready to forget it

Do you remember all the plans we made?
All the pennies we saved for rainy days?
Things didn't turn out that way
Cause things change, things change
Do you remember all the games we played?
On the bark of the tree, we carved our names
I know they're still there today
Because, because

The future might change but the past stays the same
Stays the same, stays the same, stays the same
The future might change but the past stays the same
Stays the same, stays the same
The future might change but the past stays the same

Memories won't fade
Picture perfect in my brain
What once was still remains

Just like I said I'm not quite ready, no, I'm not quite ready
No, I'm not quite ready to forget it

Do you remember all the plans we made?
All the pennies we saved for rainy days?
Things didn't turn out that way
Cause things change, things change
Do you remember all the games we played?
On the bark of the tree, we carved our names
I know they're still there today
Because, because

The future might change but the past stays the same
Stays the same, stays the same, stays the same
The future might change but the past stays the same
Stays the same, stays the same
The future might change but the past stays the same

The future wanna change but the past remains the same
The future wanna change but the past remains the same

Do you remember all the plans we made?
All the pennies we saved for rainy days?
Things didn't turn out that way
Cause things change, things change
Do you remember all the games we played?
On the bark of the tree, we carved our names
I know they're still there today
Because, because

The future might change but the past stays the same
Stays the same, stays the same, stays the same
The future might change but the past stays the same
Stays the same, stays the same
The future might change but the past stays the same
