Lyrics
I've been trying lately now to try and change my mind
I've been attempting lately to alter my perspective
I've been treading through the daylight without seeing the sunshine
I've been moving through the daytime without experiencing joy or positivity
I've been staring out the window, hoping for something that ain't never gonna come
I've been gazing out the window, hoping for something that will never materialize
The walking man walks, the talking man talks, the running man's gotta run
The walking man walks, the talking man talks, the running man must keep running; expressing the inevitability of certain actions
But if I could get a little comfort in that deep shade of night
If I could find solace in the darkness of night
This mean old godforsaken world might just seem all right
In that case, this harsh and abandoned world might appear tolerable
You could change my mind
You have the power to change my perspective
I've been trying lately now to try and fix myself
I've been making an effort recently to repair myself
I've been buying a ton of novels and just leaving them on the shelf
I've been acquiring numerous novels but not engaging with them
I've been getting down to the real deal but the real deal never shows
I've been seeking authenticity, but it remains elusive
I've been stumbling around asking everyone where the soul of man goes
I've been wandering, asking about the essence of human existence
And if I could get a little comfort in that deep shade of night
If I could find solace in the darkness of night
This mean old godforsaken world might just seem all right
In that case, this harsh and abandoned world might appear tolerable
You could change my mind
You have the power to change my perspective
Put new pavement on the old roads, new dogs at the door
Improving existing paths, introducing new elements; sometimes what we need is what we've always had
Sometimes the things we need are the things we've always had before
Expressing the irony that necessities are often things we already possess
You could change my mind
You have the power to change my perspective
