Everything Changes

It occurs to me
As things are slowing down
That is always much better
When you are around
And slowly turning me upside down, upside down, upside down, yeah

You can be who you want to
You can see who you want to
And there's nothing I can tell you now
Except, I'm always thinking of you
Even if I don't want to
In more ways than I can count

'Cause I didn't mean to let you go
Should have been the first one to let you know, oh
Change your mind
And let me 'cause I just want more time
It doesn't have to be this way
We can stop fighting and wake up in your place
Or I could go
Leave it to chance and just let this go on

And when we are in the future
One million miles away
And we start to reconsider
What now belongs to yesterday
This whole life is moving fast for me
Is it for you the same?
And do you dream? And when you do
Do you wake up saying my name, baby?

You can be who you want to
And you can see who you want to
And there's nothing I can tell you now
Except that I am always thinking of you
And even when I don't want to
In more ways than I can count

'Cause I didn't mean to let you go
Should have been the first one to let you know, oh
Change your mind
And let me 'cause I just want more time
And it doesn't have to be this way
We can stop fighting and wake up in your place
Or I could go
Leave it to chance and just let it go, let it go, yeah-yeah

'Cause we were only children, still deciding who to be
I remember following you hoping you'd look back at me
But then a band became my life, and you heard California is nice
So we got older, like people do
But I didn't mean to let you go
