[Verse 1]
There is no love lost here between us
Where are those friends who pulled no punches?
Shot from the hip with one another
We got so far from them
We're miles from way back when

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm so nervous saying this out loud
As the words roll off my tongue and out my mouth...

[Chorus]
I can see a change
I can see a change in you
I see it coursing through your veins
And it is a shame
Oh, it is a shame on you
I barely recognize your face

[Post-Chorus]
And I don't like what I'm seeing lately
Oh I don't like who I'm seeing lately

[Verse 2]
So many seasons fell beneath us
Too many voices on our shoulders
I miss us dancing through the same noise
But here we are my friend
We're miles from way back when

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I never knew that I could be so down
I never knew that I could be so down until I told you...

[Chorus]
I can see a change
I can see a change in you
I see it coursing through your veins
And it is a shame
Oh it is a shame on you
I barely recognize your face

[Post-Chorus]
And I don't like what I'm seeing lately
Oh I don't like who I'm seeing lately

[Bridge]
Maybe I'm living in the past
Who am I to judge
I'm the worst of all
Some things are better left unsaid
But I miss the person I knew before

[Chorus]
And I can see a change
I can see a change in you
I see it coursing through your veins
And it is a shame
Oh it is a shame on you
I barely recognize your face

[Post-Chorus]
And I don't like what I'm seeing lately
Oh I don't like who I'm seeing lately

[Outro]
I don't know who I'm seeing lately
Oh I don't know who I'm seeing lately

Bastille is a British indie pop band. After releasing a limited single in 2010 and the Laura Palmer EP in 2011, the band was signed to Virgin Records. Following their signing, the band released two mix-tapes – Other People’s Heartache and Other People’s Heartache Pt. 2 — for free. In an interview with The Guardian, Dan Smith discussed the

Someone recently said to ‘The mixtapes were very clever, was that the label’s idea?’ Actually the label were completely against it; we were stealing and sampling illegally left, right and centre. The label ‘We want nothing to do with this.’ When it came to hosting the mixtapes, I had to register the website myself.

Preceding the release of their debut album, Bad Blood, the band released several singles — “Overjoyed”, “Bad Blood” and “Flaws”— to moderate commercial success. In February 2013, the band was catapulted into the charts by the album’s fourth single, “Pompeii”. The song was a commercial hit, going up to 5x Platinum around the world. In June 2014, “Pompeii” was confirmed to be the United Kingdom’s most streamed song ever. Unfortunately, it has since been overtaken.
