Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With your perfect way
You got that little shine
In your eyes
To hear one word
Would make my day
But there's no room for me In your life
Ooo
You got me down on my knees
Ooo
And in my mind I can see
How perfect everything could be
But you won't give us a try
CHORUS
But if I could change your mind
How would you want me?
Would you say you need me?
Cause I need you now!
I try to move on
But your perfect way
Has got this little child
Asking why?
But this world keeps spinning
As my heart stops beating
Is there still no room inside?
woo oh oh
You got me down on my knees
And in my mind I can see
How perfect everything could be
But you won't give us a try
CHORUS
But if I could change your mind
How would you want me?
Would you say you need me
Cause I need you now
If I could change your mind
(please tell me I'm not the lonely one)
(Please help me believe that I'm not the only one)
If I could change your mind
But if I could change your mind
How would you want me?
Would you say you need me?
Cuase I need you now
And if I could change your mind
How would you hold me?
Would you say forever?
Or just leave me here to drown
OH and if I could change your mind
(change your mind)
If I could change your mind
(Change your mind)
The lyrics of Boyce Avenue's song Change Your Mind talks about unrequited love and the pain of not being able to be with someone you deeply care about. The song begins with the singer admiring the person he loves and yearning for their attention. He imagines how perfect everything could be if only the other person gave them a chance. Despite his efforts, he feels as if there's no room for him in the other person's life, which pains him greatly.
Despite his effort to move on, he finds himself constantly thinking about the person he loves and questioning why things couldn't have worked out between them. He's still holding out hope that he could change the other person's mind, and the chorus reflects this sentiment. He asks how the other person would want him to be if they gave them a chance and admits to needing them deeply.
The song ends with a plea for the other person to reconsider their feelings and to give their relationship a chance. The singer wonders how the other person would want to be held and whether they would be willing to stay with him for the long haul or abandon him. In short, the song is a plea for love and companionship, which makes it relatable to many people.
