Cover art for Walkaways lyrics by Counting Crows

it seems like the overriding theme of this song is the only constant in life is change. Also when Duritz sings "this change I been feeling doesn't make the rain fall", i think he is observing the insignificance of personal change. this is all just a guess of course, but it is the way i like to interpret it
