Lyrics
I'm looking back through the forest
I reflect on the past, metaphorically represented as a forest.
Just staring back through the trees
Gazing back, contemplating life's journey symbolized by trees.
It's hard to tell if we're happy
Uncertain if we experienced happiness amidst unclear memories.
Through the haze of foggy memories
The recollections are obscured by a foggy haze of uncertainty.
And we can never go back now
A realization that returning to the past is impossible.
To places we've never been
We can't revisit places we never had the chance to explore.
Don't want to hold onto something
Reluctance to cling to something without understanding it.
If I'm not sure what it is
An unwillingness to grasp onto the unknown.
Change my mind, I'm begging you to change my mind
A plea to reconsider, to alter the current perspective.
So I can let go of the doubt inside
Yearning to release internal doubt by changing one's mindset.
I'm begging you to change my mind
A repeated plea for a transformative change of perspective.
I was never a hero
Acknowledgment of not being a heroic figure.
And you were never some princess
Recognition that the partner is not a fairy-tale princess.
So lets drop all of the fairytales
Suggesting abandonment of idealistic fairy tales in reality.
Cause we both know life's a mess
An acknowledgment that life is chaotic and unpredictable.
I'll call you after the summer
A commitment to reconnect after a period of separation.
And we'll see where things are at
Evaluating the status of the relationship after the break.
I think we both wanted to lean in
Desire for intimacy, yet both missed a crucial moment.
But we both let the moment pass
Regret for not seizing an opportunity for closeness.
Change my mind, I'm begging you to change my mind
A repeated plea for a change of perspective to dispel doubt.
So I can let go of the doubt inside
Expressing a desire to overcome internal uncertainty.
I'm begging you to change my mind
Reiterating the plea for a transformative change of mindset.
Maybe there is our answer
Suggesting a potential solution or answer to their situation.
It doesn't mean quite enough
Indicating that the suggested solution might lack significance.
To put ourselves on some island
Rejecting the idea of isolating themselves on an island.
Where we might be the only one
Recognizing the potential loneliness in such isolation.
Change my mind, I'm begging you to change my mind
A repeated plea for a transformative change in perspective.
So I can let go of the doubt inside
Expressing a desire to release internal doubt and uncertainty.
I'm begging you to change my mind
A final plea for a change of mindset to find clarity.
