Never Be The Same
Neil Finn
Don’t stand around like friends at a funeral
Eyes to the ground
It could’ve been you
Why do you weep for the passing of ages
You slip with the back of your hand
You’re taking it out on the one you love
I couldn’t believe it
And we might still survive
And rise up through the maze
If you could change your life
And never be the same
How long must I wait
For you to release me
I pay for each mistake
While you suffer in silence
I could still have an easy life
But the lie ain’t worth the living
Once more will I hear you say
And we might still survive
And rise up through the maze
If you could change your life
And never be the same
Never be the same
Don’t stand around
Like friends at a funeral
Eyes to the ground
Don’t suffer in silence
‘Cause we might still survive
And rise up through the maze
If you could change your life
And never be the same
And every time I hear you
Never be the same
And every time I mess up
Never be the same

“It’s just about the way you can pull back from seemingly impossible odds and still feel like there’s a chance at achieving something or being successful in something.”
“My feeling about that song is that there was something slightly not quite right about it. It had a blemish and I don’t know why but it had more potential. It’s a good melody but I don’t know if we nailed it on the record.”
