Can I Change My Mind
Reconsidering Love: Can I Rewrite Fate?
Lyrics
She didn't bat an eye, as I packed my bags to leave
She remained indifferent as I prepared to leave, showing no emotional reaction.
I thought she would cry, or sit around my room and grieve
I expected her to cry or lament, but she didn't exhibit any sorrow or distress.
But oh the girl she fooled me this time
The girl deceived me on this occasion.
Acting like I was the last thing on her mind
She pretended that I was not important to her.
Now I'd like to start all over again
Expressing a desire to go back to the beginning.
I just want to change my mind
Expressing a desire to change one's decision.
As I took those steps, toward that open door
Moving towards an open door, possibly symbolic of an exit or departure.
Knowing all the time, oh Lord I just didn't wanna go
Despite knowing it was time to leave, there was an inner reluctance.
She didn't give me no sign
She gave no indication or signal that would make me reconsider.
Nothing that would make me wanna change my mind
No actions or words from her that would change my decision.
And I would like to start all over again
Expressing a desire for a fresh start.
Baby, can I change my mind
Asking for permission or expressing a wish to change the decision.
'Cause I would like to change my mind
Reiterating the desire to change the decision.
You know, I was confused, sitting here by myself thinking
The speaker reflects on confusion while alone, contemplating the departure.
watching you walk to the door and walk away
Observing the departure and wondering what should have been said to alter the decision.
what was I supposed to say change your mind
Expressing uncertainty about influencing the decision to change one's mind.
Oh I've played my game so many times before
Admitting to playing games in relationships but never reaching a point of no return.
But people let me tell y'all, that I never reached the door
Despite playing games, the speaker never went too far, implying a readiness to reconcile.
Oh the wind it is high tonight
Reference to the atmospheric conditions, possibly symbolizing a turbulent emotional state.
I keep lookin' for my baby but she's not in sight
Searching for the partner but unable to find them.
And I would like to start all over again
Expressing a desire for a new beginning despite the challenges.
Baby can I change my mind
Asking for permission or expressing a wish to change the decision.
'Cause I would like to start all over again
Reiterating the desire for a fresh start.
Baby can I change my, my mind
Repeating the request to change the decision, emphasizing a desire to restart.
'Cause I would like to start all over again with you girl
Expressing a specific desire to begin again with the mentioned girl.
