Changing of the Guard Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I suppose it's time
Go to bed before sunrise
But how do I break this chain, this chain?
I've been told I'm immature
Could learn to love a little more
Then how do I break this chain, this chain?
[Pre-Chorus]
It came out of nowhere
It came out of nowhere
[Chorus]
This could tear apart a better man
Or teach him how to hurt
Or lead him out the dark
It's the bitter taste of medicine
To realise your worth
That's the changing of the guard
That's the changing of the guard
[Verse 2]
Where does the timе go?
Just one last rodeo
And how do I break this chain, this chain?
I thought I had a couplе years
The sunset's already here
Now I gotta find my place, my place
I suppose it's time
Go to bed before sunrise
But how do I break this chain, this chain?
I've been told I'm immature
Could learn to love a little more
Then how do I break this chain, this chain?
[Pre-Chorus]
It came out of nowhere
It came out of nowhere
[Chorus]
This could tear apart a better man
Or teach him how to hurt
Or lead him out the dark
It's the bitter taste of medicine
To realise your worth
That's the changing of the guard
That's the changing of the guard
[Verse 2]
Where does the timе go?
Just one last rodeo
And how do I break this chain, this chain?
I thought I had a couplе years
The sunset's already here
Now I gotta find my place, my place
[Pre-Chorus]
It came out of nowhere
It came out of nowhere
[Chorus]
This could tear apart a better man
Or teach him how to hurt
Or lead him out the dark
It's the bitter taste of medicine
To realise your worth
That's the changing of the guard
That's the changing of the guard
[Bridge]
Time didn't give us any warnings
Pushed it right up to edge
We threw away so many mornings
For the nights that we regret
[Pre-Chorus]
Came out of nowhere
Came out of nowhere
[Chorus]
This could tear apart a better man
Or teach him how to hurt
Or lead him out the dark
It's the bitter taste of medicine
To realise your worth
That's the changing of the guard
It came out of nowhere
It came out of nowhere
[Chorus]
This could tear apart a better man
Or teach him how to hurt
Or lead him out the dark
It's the bitter taste of medicine
To realise your worth
That's the changing of the guard
That's the changing of the guard
[Bridge]
Time didn't give us any warnings
Pushed it right up to edge
We threw away so many mornings
For the nights that we regret
[Pre-Chorus]
Came out of nowhere
Came out of nowhere
[Chorus]
This could tear apart a better man
Or teach him how to hurt
Or lead him out the dark
It's the bitter taste of medicine
To realise your worth
That's the changing of the guard
This could tear apart a better man
Or teach him how to hurt
Or lead him out the dark
It's the bitter taste of medicine
To realise your worth
That's the changing of the guard
That's the changing of the guard
Or teach him how to hurt
Or lead him out the dark
It's the bitter taste of medicine
To realise your worth
That's the changing of the guard
That's the changing of the guard

What did Rag'n'Bone Man say about "Changing of the Guard"?
Genius Answer
It’s about how I felt just before I was having my son. And the changes that I knew I was going to have to make—not being able to go out partying so much anymore, and being a bit more responsible. It’s also a little bit about the relationship that I had with my dad, which is now really good, but wasn’t always that great. And how I think it’s important to change the way you go about talking to your children, about being open and honest and not being afraid to share your feelings.
