Changing Lyrics
All these buckets of rain,
I've heard enough about.
You say that I lied.
I am a gentleman didn't I ask for a place I could stay?
What were we both thinking?
The next part just got in the way.
You were just always talking about changing.
What if I was the same then,the same I always was?
All these things that you say,
like i'll forget about
the mind-numbing games that you play.
I am a gentleman,
didn't I pay for every laugh every dime,
every bit every time and then you feed me some line.
I won't hear one more word about changing.
Guess what I am the same man,
same that I've always been.
Days pass and turn into weeks,
when we don't even speak.
We just lay wide awake and pretend we're asleep.
You go home alone and you're checking your phone
and you're looking at me like I'm something you own.
All these buckets of rain,
you can't forget about it,
you say I never tried.
I am a gentleman,
didn't I answer every time that you call,
pick you up when you fall
but you never listen at all
You were just always talking about changing.
Guess what I am the same man.
I've heard enough about.
You say that I lied.
I am a gentleman didn't I ask for a place I could stay?
What were we both thinking?
The next part just got in the way.
You were just always talking about changing.
What if I was the same then,the same I always was?
like i'll forget about
the mind-numbing games that you play.
I am a gentleman,
didn't I pay for every laugh every dime,
every bit every time and then you feed me some line.
I won't hear one more word about changing.
Guess what I am the same man,
same that I've always been.
when we don't even speak.
We just lay wide awake and pretend we're asleep.
You go home alone and you're checking your phone
and you're looking at me like I'm something you own.
you can't forget about it,
you say I never tried.
I am a gentleman,
didn't I answer every time that you call,
pick you up when you fall
but you never listen at all
You were just always talking about changing.
Guess what I am the same man.

My interpretation is that it's about a couple and the man asked to move in with his girlfriend "i am a gentlemen,didn't i ask for a place i can stay" and things don't work out the way he thought it would because they start to reveal who they really are to each other "the next part just got in the way what were we both thinking" . This seems to be why she keeps saying he's changing when he is really being himself. after a while they start to resent and avoid each other "the days they turn into weeks when we don't even speak we just lay wide awake and pretend we're asleep"
This song is very catchy. I can't stop hearing it! i dont think its as good of a song as innocence tho. but thats juss me the meaning behind the song is very clear
Great song and lookin foward to the new album. The last album was excellent. Hope they start releasing mor singles sooner.I have high expectations for this bands future =]
I agree. The sound is almost a bit too popish. It's great though, very catchy.

@Ickythumpz it does sound a little poppish, but be aware that this is the single and it probably is designed to. It doesn't take away from the fact that it is a good song. It's certainly not my favorite Airborne song, but it's still really good.
as far as the meaning I don't even want to insult anyone's intelligence. It's about a good guy who is constantly being nagged and accused by his girlfriend.
The third verse breaks my heart for some reason
