She was born with summer in her hair and in the way that she talks
But I can still see Autumn every time that she walks
That she walks away, she walks away from me
The leaves are changing colors but she’s still all that I see

We spent the summer in the same old parks
We slept right through the daylight, we fell in love in the dark
The park ranger kicked us out before I got to the kiss
So tragic at the time, but now it’s something I miss

But nothing ever happened to the way things are
Nothing ever happened to the way things are
Nothing ever happened to the way things are
Nothing ever happened at all

Darling, I’ve been missing you, and I miss you more with each day
As fall turns into winter, I hope that things stay the same
And darling, never change; no, please never change a thing
And I’ll always think of you with every word that I sing

And nothing ever happened to the way things were
Nothing ever happened to the way things were
Nothing ever happened to the way things were
Nothing ever happened to her

I’d drive all night just to get to you cause you’re the reason I can’t sleep
Instead, I’ll lie awake thinking of the things you do to me
You left my love in the August sun, and I’ve been holding it right here
All I want is just to hold you close and help you ring in the new year
Just like last year

Now I spend most of my time wondering if you’ll call
As if something that means so much
Could still somehow mean nothing at all
And I still feel lonely even when I’m not alone
Oh love, it’s cold where I am
I wish that you’d come back home

But nothing ever happened to the way things are
Nothing ever happened to the way things are
Nothing ever happened to the way things are
Nothing ever happened

Nothing ever happened at all

Some nights, I feel so big
Tonight, I feel so small
But nothing ever happened to me
It never happened at all
