She was dreaming of her big break
She constructed the right attitude
Bought a plan and a time frame
Just got to make it glue, make it glue

'Cause the universe has got plans
And competition can dry you up
And now she's living on a road map

People don't change people, time does
People don't change people, time does
People don't change people, time does

She met him in the bottle
Beneath the glare of the morning light
Bad actress, decent model
But good at taking a bite

And we're all trying to get better
And we've all had quite enough
Of this pleasant displeasure

But people don't change people, time does
People don't change people, time does
People don't change people, time does

And I'd love to help you out
I'd love to get us off of this swing, this roundabout
I'd love to turn you on and remove these golden handcuffs

But people don't change people, don't change people
Don't change people, time does
Time does
Time does
People don't change people, time does
People don't change people, time does
