Our Own Pretty Ways Lyrics
Let's not spill the truth
It's easier being alone
You're a shadow of the old
And I want something new
You've quit dreaming again
I can see it now clear
But I'll wake up every morning
With the big black and the blue
Let's take this for what it is
You tell me you have changed
Well we all change in our own ways
In our own pretty ways
It all comes down to this
I'm an ocean, you're the rain
The ice is melting fast
But you're not pulling down the brakes
You'll start drinking again
I can see it now clear
How you'll wake up every morning
With a new bird in your cage
Even the most peaceful town
Once was a battleground
Well we all change in our own ways
In our own pretty ways
Even in our police state
Someone dares to demonstrate
Well we all fight in our own ways
But nothing ever change
It's easier being alone
You're a shadow of the old
And I want something new
I can see it now clear
But I'll wake up every morning
With the big black and the blue
You tell me you have changed
Well we all change in our own ways
In our own pretty ways
I'm an ocean, you're the rain
The ice is melting fast
But you're not pulling down the brakes
I can see it now clear
How you'll wake up every morning
With a new bird in your cage
Once was a battleground
Well we all change in our own ways
In our own pretty ways
Someone dares to demonstrate
Well we all fight in our own ways
But nothing ever change

This song is really nice to listen to.
I love this line, "You'll start drinking again I can see it now clear How you'll wake up every morning With a new bird in your cage." -Not too sure if it's about a friend or an ex, but either way, it sounds like a metaphor to having sex with different people, beause of te fact they got drunk. The "Bird" being the different people, the "Cage", being the bed.
I could be wrong haha.
A friend just sent this song to me over the weekend. I loved it for the vocals and their passion live in the woodlands videos. Then I started listening to the lyrics over and over again... uh0hmandy, those are my favorite string of lyrics, too. And I think you're dead on, I think it's about getting drunk and being promiscuous.

Their lyrics are sooo sophisticated for being as young as they are. They've got a bright future.
It's pretty much about a friend who is turning back to their old ways and drinking and sleeping around and such.
This song is about an ex-boyfriend who was emotionally or physically abusive in the relationship. He's coming back to tell her that he's changed. This song is her telling him that she has changed too and that she is not naive enough to let him take advantage of her any more. She thinks he will only revert to his old ways: getting drunk, sleeping around, and treating her terribly.
"Even in our police state Someone dares to demonstrate." ^ You can't change human nature.
