Pick Up The Change Lyrics

Cover art for Pick Up The Change lyrics by Wilco

Why he is asking her to help him to pick up the change? Because she is changing and he wants to change with her, so they will still have lots of things in common, like they used to. So when he says 'now we are just the same', it is more of a wishful thinkig than truth. Apparently they are drifting apart, her mind is wondering, and he hopes that kissing her on her cheek will make it fall back in line. For me this song is about a couple that struggles to stay together by changing together. Very romantic, but not simple (personal experience). Anyhow, beautiful song.
