Why is it that I just keep sitting here
When I have nothing to gain from the life I lead to the frequent dead end choices that I make
Why did't life come with a how-to-guide so I'd never start to stray
Or be miles behind when the road I'm taking gently starts to fade
And I'm so scared of change
Never been good at moving on
I don't do well at keeping with the crowds
And I'm so scared of change
But it's something I can't hide from
No, it's something I must meet with face to face
Is there a way to bribe the clock somehow
For to buy myself some time
Make the earth stand still for a minute while I fall back into line
And is it a crime to want to live my life in the shelter of disguise
Pretend everything will stay the same and slip into my mind
And I'm so scared of change
Never been good at moving on
I don't do well at keeping with the crowds
And I'm so scared of change
But it's something I can't hide from
No, it's something I must meet with face to face
