Change It All
Redemption Echoes: A Song of Regret and Second Chances
Lyrics
He spent his life reaching for the bottle
Expressing that the person spent a significant part of their life relying on alcohol.
He left his wife and kids waking up alone
Describing the consequences of the person's actions, leaving behind a spouse and children who wake up alone.
He missed out on the moments they could have together
Highlighting missed opportunities for shared moments between the person and their family.
Think of all the memories that could have been forever
Reflecting on the lost potential of creating lasting memories with the family.
Although he’s never been a man to speak his mind
Characterizing the individual as someone not prone to expressing their thoughts openly.
I remember the words he said that night
Recalling words spoken by the person on a particular night.
If I could go back and change it all I would
Expressing a desire to go back in time and change past actions.
But this time around I swear to you I’ll try
Committing to making an effort to change and improve in the present.
If only I could give you more than this
Expressing a wish to offer more than the current situation allows.
I’d give you one last kiss before I die
Desiring to share a final kiss before facing mortality.
Before we say goodbye
Acknowledging the impending farewell.
He is a man with a lot of regrets in life
Describing the person as burdened with many regrets.
If only he had found his way back home
Pondering on an alternate path that could have led the person back home.
He missed out on the moments they could have together
Reiterating missed opportunities for shared moments with the family.
Think of all the memories that could have been forever
Emphasizing the lost potential for creating lasting memories.
Although he’s never been a man to speak his mind
Reiterating the person's tendency to keep thoughts to themselves.
I remember the words he said that night

If I could go back and change it all I would

But this time around I swear to you I’ll try

Before we say goodbye
Acknowledging the impending farewell (repeated).
I know it’s not my place, a little much to ask
Recognizing the inappropriateness of making a certain request.
Not asking you to forget, but to forgive what I regret
Expressing a plea for forgiveness for past regrets without expecting forgetting.
I can’t turn back the clock, I can’t turn back time
Acknowledging the impossibility of reversing time.
If I could go back and change it all I would
Expressing a desire to change the past if given the opportunity (repeated).
But this time around I swear to you I’ll try
Committing to making an effort to change and improve in the present (repeated).
If only I could give you more than this

I’d give you one last kiss before I die
Desiring to share a final kiss before facing mortality (repeated).
Before we say goodbye
Acknowledging the impending farewell (repeated).
