Lyrics

[Intro]
[acoustic guitar strumming sixteenth-note pattern]
[Verse 1]
[male vocals enter]
Black leather jacket is mine to just have
Someone's a child for days and days
He don't need much just a car and a clutch
Take it away where it wants to be
[Chorus]
I'm not the same anymore
As I was before, before
I'm not the same anymore
As I was before, before
It's changing in me
Changing in me
(Oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh)
[Bridge]
[percussive acoustic guitar strumming with accented upbeats]
Suddenly rain hit the most of us
And then
Suddenly someone was boasting it all of us
Here it goes again
(Oh-oh-oh)
I love it until the day I'm not
(Oh-oh-oh)
I love it until the day I'm
(Oh-oh-oh)
I love it until the day I'm not
(Oh-oh-oh)
I love it until the day I'm
[Verse 2]
[original strumming pattern resumes]
This world elephant slipped on sweet regret
Somebody stole the way his heart
Somebody cried, someone was tossed
Just the wind, you're just the fuss
[Chorus]
Not the same as I was before
Not the same as I was before
Just open the door
Just open the door
We're alright, we're alright, we're alright
(Hey-oh-oh)
We're alright, we're alright, we're alright
(Hey-oh-oh)
[Outro]
[vocal intensity increases, melodic shouting]
Over you, over you, turn you over
And you're gone again
Over you, over you, turn you over
You lost your way my friend
Over you, over you, turn you over
You're gone so
Over you, I know you're gone away
