Never Gonna Change Lyrics
You’re pushing down on my shoulders
And emptying my lungs
And in a moment I'm older
In a moment, you've won
And you escape me
Like it's nothing
Like words I never should have said
And the stress comes to the surface
But all of the heroes are dead
And I hate that I can't say your name
Without feeling like I'm part of the blame
And it's never gonna feel quite the same
But it's never gonna change
And I hate that I'm always so young
Had me feeling like you were the one
And it's never gonna feel like it's done
'Cause it's never gonna change (change)
Never gonna change (change)
Never gonna change (change)
Never gonna change
While I dance here softly
You're next to me again (you're next to me again)
But we're still tugging on each other
And tearing up the fraying loose ends
And I hate that I can't say your name
Without feeling like I'm part of the blame
And it's never gonna feel quite the same
But it's never gonna change
And I hate that I'm always so young
Had me feeling like you were the one
And it's never gonna feel like it's done
'Cause it's never gonna change (change)
Never gonna change (change)
Never gonna change (change)
Never gonna change
And I hate that I can't say your name
Without feeling like I'm part of the blame
And it's never gonna feel quite the same
But it's never gonna change
And I hate that I'm always so young
Had me feeling like you were the one
And it's never feel gonna like it's done
'Cause it's never gonna change (change)
Never gonna change (change)
Never gonna change (change)
Never gonna change
'Cause it's never gonna change (change)
Never gonna change (change)
Never gonna change (change)
Never gonna change
And emptying my lungs
And in a moment I'm older
In a moment, you've won
And you escape me
Like it's nothing
Like words I never should have said
And the stress comes to the surface
But all of the heroes are dead
Without feeling like I'm part of the blame
And it's never gonna feel quite the same
But it's never gonna change
And I hate that I'm always so young
Had me feeling like you were the one
And it's never gonna feel like it's done
'Cause it's never gonna change (change)
Never gonna change (change)
Never gonna change (change)
Never gonna change
You're next to me again (you're next to me again)
But we're still tugging on each other
And tearing up the fraying loose ends
And I hate that I can't say your name
Without feeling like I'm part of the blame
And it's never gonna feel quite the same
But it's never gonna change
And I hate that I'm always so young
Had me feeling like you were the one
And it's never gonna feel like it's done
'Cause it's never gonna change (change)
Never gonna change (change)
Never gonna change (change)
Never gonna change
Without feeling like I'm part of the blame
And it's never gonna feel quite the same
But it's never gonna change
And I hate that I'm always so young
Had me feeling like you were the one
And it's never feel gonna like it's done
'Cause it's never gonna change (change)
Never gonna change (change)
Never gonna change (change)
Never gonna change
'Cause it's never gonna change (change)
Never gonna change (change)
Never gonna change (change)
Never gonna change

Good song! This is my favorite right now but their whole EP is awesome. Can't wait for the album.
I think this is about a back and forth friendship. It seems like the girl has feelings about her best friend and every time she thinks he might feel the same way he shuts down again leaving the girls head spinning. It's this constant back and forth between the two and it gets to the point that she can't handle it anymore. She realizes this is how it will always be.
I feel like this is a song about a girl and her friend or lover who died (maybe commited suicide). I get that from the lyrics, but also from the official video for the song. She feels guilty because she wasn't there for him when he needed her. She's having visions of him, but he's gone forever.
