Lyrics
The train's passing by our bedroom window
The passing train is visible from our bedroom window.
If feels like the writing's on the wall
There's a sense that a significant change or ending is inevitable.
You try your best to reassure me
Despite attempts to reassure, doubts have arisen.
But lately I don't believe you at all
Recent reassurances are no longer convincing.
It takes time to build up some kind of mountain
Building something substantial requires time.
It takes strength just to sit and watch it fall
Watching the efforts crumble demands strength.
We can hope that it all wasn't for nothing
Hope exists that the efforts were not in vain.
But for I, will just wait out, in the hall
Personal decision to wait patiently despite uncertainties.
If I can't change your mind
Expressing a desire to influence someone's perspective.
Then I want to change for you
Willingness to transform oneself for the other person.
Every single night
Commitment to this intention every night.
Pick my clothes, run my life
Taking responsibility for personal choices and life decisions.
Cause I want to change for you
Reiterating the commitment to change for the other person.
Every single night
Consistent commitment every night.
Use your hands and control me like a puppet
Metaphorical surrender and willingness to be influenced.
Because losing your love right now is worse
Fearing the consequences of losing the other person's love.
If I can't change your mind
Repeating the desire to influence the other person's perspective.
Then I want to change for you
Continued willingness to transform for the other person.
Every single night
Reaffirming commitment to change every night.
Pick my clothes, run my life
Allowing the other person to have a say in personal matters.
Cause I want to change for you
Continued commitment to change for the other person.
Every single night
Repeating the nightly commitment to transformation.
Its better than saying goodbye
Choosing change over the pain of saying goodbye.
Its better than saying goodbye
Emphasizing the preference for change rather than farewell.
Its better than saying goodbye (I'll change for you)
Reiterating that changing is preferable to saying goodbye.
Its better than saying goodbye
Stressing the sentiment that change is a better alternative than parting ways.
