[Verse 1] I remember summer in the backyard sun Everybody laughing, everybody young The house felt bigger than the whole wide sky And I never thought to ask the reason why Then the whispers started late at night Doors would close and voices weren't as light I stood there listening from down the hall Trying to understand it all [Chorus] I wanted every day to stay the same Nobody hurting, nobody to blame I thought the people I looked up to knew Exactly what they were supposed to do But time keeps moving, nothing stays still You learn to bend when life won't fit your will And though the picture changed before my eyes I found a way to grow through the surprise [Verse 2] Some days felt colder than they should have been Questions spinning circles in my head again I searched for answers in the things I knew But growing up changed every point of view [Chorus] I wanted every day to stay the same Nobody hurting, nobody to blame I thought the people I looked up to knew Exactly what they were supposed to do But time keeps moving, nothing stays still You learn to bend when life won't fit your will And though the picture changed before my eyes I found a way to grow through the surprise [Bridge] Now I know we're all just finding our way Making mistakes from day to day The heroes I knew were human too Doing the best that they could do [Final Chorus] I wanted every day to stay the same But every season brought a different frame The world kept turning even when I cried And somehow I made it to the other side The things I lost still matter to me now But they don't hold the future somehow The story changed, the sky was rearranged And I learned to live when the world changed
