lyrics

Never thought I’d see the day
Never thought I’d feel this way
And yet here we stand
A moment passed, the sun went down
How did we get so turned around
This was not what we planned

Like candles on a birthday cake
We burned so bright, now just a haze
And I forget how things went wrong
But we once believed in fate

Now everything’s changing
I fear I’m changing too
Nothing ever stays the same
As we want it to

Everything was so intense
Now it doesn’t make much sense at all
But that’s okay
In these moments we are high
It’s now or never, do or die
At least for today

‘Cause people come and people go
And people you will never know
Feel every feeling that you feel
A million miles away

Now everything’s changing
I fear I’m changing too
Nothing ever stays the same
As we want it to
It’s time to move on now
It’s time that we find our way
Out in the real world
Where it’s just another day

All the places that you’ve known
All the spaces you’ve called “home”
Every smile and every tear
Every minute of every year
And all the progress that you’ve made
A bittersweet hit parade
Of every lover and every friend
And everything you thought would never end

We've been through torrential rain
Dealt with heartache, lived with pain
In the end it'll be okay
And if it's not, it's not the end

Now everything’s changing
I fear I’m changing too
Nothing ever stays the same
As we want it to

Dear Daria Washington, D.C.

Washington, DC-based four-piece Dear Daria writes storyteller songs about angst, love, social commentary, mental health, and a longing for the world to be the kind of safe and accepting place we all wished we lived in. Dear Daria is a brightly-colored swirl of power pop, indie rock, alt-rock, and pop punk. Frontwoman Maryjo Mattea says “it's like if Lennon and McCartney grew up in the 90s”. ... more
