[Verse 1]

A boy alone, so far from home, endless rooftops from my window

I felt the gloom of empty rooms on rainy afternoons

Sometimes in confusion, I felt so lost and disillusioned

Innocence gave me confidence to go up against reality

[Chorus]

All the same we take our chances, laughed at by time

Tricked by circumstances

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

The more that things change, the more they stay the same

[Verse 2]

Now I've gained some understanding of the only world that we see

Things that I once dreamed of have become reality

These walls that still surround me still contain the same old me

Just one more who's searching for a world that ought to be

[Chorus]

All the same we take our chances, laughed at by time

Tricked by circumstances

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

The more that things change, the more they stay the same

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

All the same we take our chances, laughed at by time

Tricked by circumstances

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

The more that things change, the more they stay the same
