Take Off Charlie - Necessary Change Lyrics

When I was growing up
My neighbors bought a van
And it was bright blue in the sunlight
And they would park it in the street
But now the colors faded
To a sad and ugly grey
I miss the old blue color
I hate it everyday
Oh Why can't things I love
Never go away?
And why can't things I'm used to
Ever stay the same?
It's so hard to give in and get used to
Seeing that you were just used to
Everything but change
Necessary change
Nothing stays the same
You've gotta change to
And in my dads backyard
There was tall and mighty tree
And it would cover us at parties
It kept the grass so fresh and green
But just the other day
They came to cut it down
My dad said it was dying
It could fall and hit the house
Oh why can't the things I love
Never go away?
Oh why do crave my childhood
Was it such a better place?
It's hard to give in and get used to
Seeing that you were so used to
Everything but change
Necessary change
Nothing stays the same
You've gotta change too
Have you ever smelled nighttime like when you snuck out of the house?
And you're lying to your parents when they ask your whereabouts
And you're talking of the future, high, around a trampoline
I've done that stuff
And I loved that stuff
Sometimes it's not enough
Sometime it's all too much
But, I guess though on the bright side
In my old neighborhood
Maybe grey's in fashion
And some sunshine would feel good
And maybe I'm approaching
The second act of Sean
There is no harm in loving & wanting & missing the things.
That took place in Sean: Act 1
Oh I think that I can get used to
Doing what I want when I want to
Every single day
Nothing goes away
Things just simply change
And change is okay
