Everything about you and me

Everything about you and me Surrounded by shifting sands We cannot hold onto a thought They come and go through our hands We are what habit has made us Addicted to what fills our minds Trying to control every hour While time leaves us all behind [Pre-Chorus] Today, like yesterday, will pass Nothing we hold is built to last We chase the shape of what we need And change becomes the air we breathe [Chorus] Nothing is permanent in your life or mine The only thing permanent is change Everything is interim, momentary, provisional Still we reach through the rain Everything we had, everything we lost Everything we gave away Lives somewhere in the past But love can change a day [Verse] Your way of doing things becomes A habit, an obsession too You become the thing you wanted Till another dream wants you Even a genius builds a vision That may stand for centuries Your life is short, and those after May fear or cherish what they see [Pre-Chorus] Your worries, joys, the friends you make The friends who leave, the hearts that break Were spent beneath yesterday's sun Today begins, we start again [Chorus] Nothing is permanent in your life or mine The only thing permanent is change Everything is interim, momentary, provisional Still we reach through the rain Everything we had, everything we lost Everything we gave away Lives somewhere in the past But love can change a day [Bridge] We are the observers, participants Creators and destroyers too Beauty dressed in ugly thoughts Ugly dressed in something true Life is built on contradiction Inner conflict, outward storms Trying to solve each other's problems Trying to find a place that's warm [Chorus (final)] Nothing is permanent in your life or mine The only thing permanent is change Everything is interim, momentary, provisional Still we reach through the rain Mother nature, the universe Give us wonders every day And I can openly say I love you Because love can change a day
