Circumstances

A boy alone, so far from home Endless rooftops from my window I felt the gloom of empty rooms on rainy afternoons Sometimes in confusion I felt so lost and disillusioned Innocence gave me confidence To go up against reality All the same, we take our chances Laughed at by time Tricked by circumstances Plus ca change Plus c'est la meme chose The more that things change The more they stay the same Now I've gained some understanding of the only world that we see Things that I once dreamed of have become reality These walls that still surround me still contain the same old me Just one more who's searching for a world that ought to be All the same, we take our chances Laughed at by time Tricked by circumstances Plus ca change Plus c'est la meme chose The more that things change The more they stay the same All the same, we take our chances Laughed at by time Tricked by circumstances Plus ca change Plus c'est la meme chose The more that things change The more they stay the same
