Lyrics

[Verse 1] I lived in the country where the dead wood aches In a house made of stone and a thousand mistakes Where the glory of morning got crushed by the burden of day I went down to the seaside, it was light and easy Like salt in my wounds, I won't ever be free Though alone getting drunk on a beach ain't a bad way to be [Chorus] But I don't ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever want to change But I don't ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever want to change I say, your life would be much easier if you only had yourself to blame But I don't ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever want to change [Verse 2] I ran a store for six months, took a match one night Left concern impaled on a receipt spike And all hope petering on a leaky roof And an electric heater up the back of the room Well the assessor came early to walk the ashes Showing high spirits wouldn't have helped my chances I got the money in a week and for a while everything was fine [Chorus] But I don't ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever want to change But I don't ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever want to change I say, your life would be much easier if you only had yourself to blame But I don't ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever want to change [Instrumental] [Bridge] You see your doctor, take the cure, and then you've got it made But the vertigo keeps telling me to stay away In two weeks flat, I've seen the Zoloft put my baby in the grave I'm saying, I don't ever want to change I don't ever want to change I know my limits well, seems they're never that far away I'm saying, I don't ever want to change I don't ever want to change I know my limits well, seems they're never that far away I'm saying, I don't ever want to change I don't ever want to change I know my limits well, seems they're never that far away [Outro] But I don't ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever But I don't ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever But I don't ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever But I don't ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever
