Lyrics
0:11So I opened the front door, you walked in all handsome
0:23And ready for something you saw in my eyes
0:28Right here, we sat and we tripped out
0:34Saw celestial mosaics, and I fell and I crawled over and held your hand
0:45And nobody worried about the roof being blown off
0:51So I went farther than I'd ever gone before
0:59Change, you are my nemesis
1:05Transition, I hold my breath
1:10This about-face, I'm excited, I'm excited yet
1:17I'm filled with despair, anticipation and dread
1:24This metamorphosis closed the door and opened a window
1:37And so I climbed the stairs and bled, and here was a starseed
1:48Right here he came to us in the bed in our bedroom
1:55And you trusted me enough to follow me anywhere
2:00Or the other way around, the other way around as well
2:08And I blocked my nose and dove in the deep end
2:16And swam like my life depended on it, and it did
2:23Change, you are my nemesis
2:30Transition, I hold my breath
2:33This about-face, I'm excited, I'm excited yet
2:41I'm filled with despair, anticipation and dread
2:49This metamorphosis closed the door and opened a window
2:57Oh, no
3:23Right here, in this very backyard, we promised forever
3:34And we put our helmets on and threw the confetti
3:41And then there's the phone call
3:45Telling me to breathe in through my nose and out my mouth
3:53And out came our girl, faster than we thought
4:01And now I am beyond recognition
4:08I guess that's a good thing, and still, I want to go deeper
4:16Change, you are my nemesis
4:23Transition, I hold my breath
4:26This about-face, I'm excited, I'm excited yet
4:34I'm filled with despair, anticipation and dread
4:41This metamorphosis closed the door and opened a window
So I opened the front door, you walked in all handsome And ready for something you saw in my eyes Right here, we sat and we tripped out Saw celestial mosaics, and I fell and I crawled over and held your hand And nobody worried about the roof being blown off So I went farther than I'd ever gone before Change, you are my nemesis Transition, I hold my breath This about-face, I'm excited, I'm excited yet I'm filled with despair, anticipation and dread This metamorphosis closed the door and opened a window And so I climbed the stairs and bled, and here was a starseed Right here he came to us in the bed in our bedroom And you trusted me enough to follow me anywhere Or the other way around, the other way around as well And I blocked my nose and dove in the deep end And swam like my life depended on it, and it did Change, you are my nemesis Transition, I hold my breath This about-face, I'm excited, I'm excited yet I'm filled with despair, anticipation and dread This metamorphosis closed the door and opened a window Oh, no Right here, in this very backyard, we promised forever And we put our helmets on and threw the confetti And then there's the phone call Telling me to breathe in through my nose and out my mouth And out came our girl, faster than we thought And now I am beyond recognition I guess that's a good thing, and still, I want to go deeper Change, you are my nemesis Transition, I hold my breath This about-face, I'm excited, I'm excited yet I'm filled with despair, anticipation and dread This metamorphosis closed the door and opened a window
