[Verse 1]
You woke me up at 3:00 a.m. 
To tell me about the fire
You said that she was more than a friend
You were consumed by your desire

[Chorus]
And so it goes
This too shall pass away
It cuts so strange
The only thing that stays the same
Is change

[Verse 2]
Your love was here, but now it's gone
And your eyes no longer want me
And now I can't hold back the dawn
And the truth that seems to haunt me

[Chorus]
And so it goes
This too shall pass away
It cuts so strange
The only thing that stays the same
Is change
[Post-Chorus]
The only thing that stays the same
Is change
The only thing that stays the same
Is change
Oh

[Verse 2]
I'm not so sure where I have been
I don't know just where I'm going
Hard as I hold it in my hand
I can't stop this wind from blowing

[Chorus]
And so it goes
This too shall pass away
Oh, it cuts so strange
Won't you roll me?
Won't you roll, roll, roll, roll, roll me away?
It cuts so strange
The only thing that stays the same
Is change

[Post-Chorus]
The only thing that stays the same
Is change
Oh, the only thing that stays the same
Is change
The only thing that stays the same
Is change
The only thing that stays the same
Is change
