Don't Change Lyrics
he seems nice
you met him once or twice
but you wonder what he’s like
when he’s sober
then again
you hear he has no friends
just people that he spins
to do him favors
when he wakes up in the morning
he tells himself today i’ll make a change
but falling into his bed at night
he thinks man it was a beautiful day
to stay the same
i’m so deep
that only in my sleep
do the secrets that i keep
float to the surface
so i hold them down
til they don’t make a sound
like they accidentally drown
except on purpose
then when i wake up in the morning
i tell myself today i’ll make a change
but falling into my bed at night
i think man it was a beautiful day
to stay the same
you met him once or twice
but you wonder what he’s like
when he’s sober
then again
you hear he has no friends
just people that he spins
to do him favors
when he wakes up in the morning
he tells himself today i’ll make a change
but falling into his bed at night
he thinks man it was a beautiful day
to stay the same
i’m so deep
that only in my sleep
do the secrets that i keep
float to the surface
so i hold them down
til they don’t make a sound
like they accidentally drown
except on purpose
then when i wake up in the morning
i tell myself today i’ll make a change
but falling into my bed at night
i think man it was a beautiful day
to stay the same

David Bazan has a way to cut you , - the way laziness cuts him like fun cutlery. Not intentionally- it is more an invitation into how he sees the world. He holds himself to high standards, fails, promises, beats himself up etc. Just like you!
Anyways this song is phenomenal and contains both a desire to grow and improve and also an acceptance and resignation to our limitations. Will and Grace. Life.
