Nothing you can do

from The Big Reveal (album) by Casual Fantastic

/

lyrics

They come to stay in the past
You see them missing all the rest
They like walking on the same old paths
It’s how they like it best

There ain’t nothing you can do
Like me being me, you being you
Nothing you can say
They won’t change you won’t break away

They keep strumming the same old songs
You find it hard to sing along
It wasn’t always this way
But now it is it won’t change
And the person they seem to think you are
Is a stranger you don’t know
A cardboard cutout from a story long ago
You don’t recognize the role

There ain’t nothing you can do . . .

When you ask what’s new
You hear what they have and what they’re getting
You keeping withing for a change of view
But they find comfort in the setting.
You will leave soon enough and return
To bigger problems to occupy your mind
Unopened boxes in a cold new apartment
The start of your new life

There ain’t nothing you can do . . .
