"Change" lyrics

The power went out for three days in October
An uninvited winter shut the reservation down
Wind is creeping in through the cracks in the door
Cause nobody's lived inside a house on this piece of land before

They brought in the brushers cut down the marshmallow trees
One more house, one more family

The only thing that changes is the change itself
The way it keeps you down and for how long
Kinda makes you thankful for just how hard it ain't
On the good days and the not so good between
All the good days and the not so good between

There was a boy who lived all the days he could
Why he died so young the whole town never understood
Late on the highway a trailer with no brake lights stalled
Spared the father but his only son was gone

We sewed black patches to our jerseys in the fall
And never saw his mother's face again

The only thing that changes is the change itself
The way it keeps you down and for how long
Kinda makes you thankful for just how hard it ain't
On the good days and the not so good between
The only thing that changes is the change itself
The way it keeps you down and for how long
Kinda makes you thankful for just how hard it ain't
On the good days and the not so good between
All the good days and the not so good between
