lyrics

I’m so scared things will end that I pray they don’t start
Try to live in the moment but it breaks me apart
Try to write a nice song but the lines rhyme with fart
But I’ve been trying to change my mind

The leaves make you breathless and then the leaves fall
You make a new friend just to wish they would call
The long lonely nights are the worst of it all
But I’ve been trying to change my mind

I write a song while I’m driving, can’t control what I feel
But it’s hard to write down with one hand on the wheel
I put on the blinkers and pull over to heal
I’ve been trying to change my mind

It feels like my brain’s poking out from the lid
Or I wake up and feel like I’m still just a kid
My body got bigger, now my mind doesn’t fit
But I’m trying, I’m trying to change it

So in March or in April I’ll look at the trees
See them shivering and grateful for winter’s release
The quick happy trills of the robin’s relief
I’ve been trying to change my mind

On the days when I miss you I’ll be glad that we met
Or get busy with work and be glad to forget
Why does trying to be happy feel like paying off debt?
I’ve been trying to change my mind
I’ve been trying to change my mind
