Life's incredible ability to transform from darkness to light takes center stage in this reflective indie rock narrative. The songwriter chronicles her journey from a troubled past marked by alcohol dependency, depression, and public criticism to a healthier, more stable present. She contrasts her former self, who relied on "water and whiskey" and faced emotional struggles, with her current contentment found in simple pleasures like walking a dog and sharing morning coffee with a loved one. The repeated chorus emphasizing how "everything has changed" celebrates this positive transformation while acknowledging a touch of disbelief about her improved circumstances. There's also a sense of cautious optimism as she hopes these positive changes will last "longer than before," suggesting previous attempts at transformation that didn't stick. It's ultimately a hopeful meditation on personal growth and the joy of finding peace after turbulent times.
Everything Has Changed
Lyrics
I used to drink
Nothing but water and whiskey
Now I think
Those were the reasons why
I used to fall
Deep down in a hole
I used to crawl
All the way back home
I used to cry myself to sleep
Reading all the names they called me
Used to say that I was lazy
The lazy, crazy baby
Did they think
That maybe I was in on it?
Did they think?
No, of course they didn't
Didn't
Everything has changed
I like it this way
Everything has changed
I'd like for it to stay
Everything has changed
I like it this way
Everything has changed
I'd like for it to stay
Now I'm sipping on my coffee
Now I'm walkin' a little dog on a leash
Now I live in a big pink house
I escape to Witch Mountain every day
Now I'm cooking for two
Now I'm waking up every morning next to you
I used to be so scared
If everything's okay
Then what the hell do I complain about?
About
Everything has changed
I like it this way
Everything has changed
I'd like for it to stay
If you could only see me now
If you could only figure me out
If you could only feel the way I feel
Let's hope it stays around a little longer than before
Everything has changed
I like it this way
Everything has changed
I'd like for it to stay
Everything has changed
I like it this way
Everything has changed
I'd like for it to stay
