Change Your Mind
Boyce Avenue Lyrics

There you are
The singer sees the person he desires in front of him

With your perfect way
The person he desires seems to have everything figured out

You got that little shine
The person he desires has an attractive quality that catches the singer's attention

In your eyes
This attraction is visible in the person's eyes

To hear one word
The singer is hoping to receive even the slightest bit of attention from the person he desires

Would make my day
The singer is emotionally invested in receiving any amount of affection from the person he desires

But there's no room for me
The person he desires seems to be unavailable to the singer

In your life
The person he desires doesn't seem to consider the singer as a potential partner

Ooo
The singer is expressing frustration and longing

You got me down on my knees
The singer is powerless to the attraction he feels for the other person

And in my mind I can see
The singer is imagining a happier life with the person he desires

How perfect everything could be
The singer imagines that a relationship with the person he desires would be flawless

But you won't give us a try
The person he desires seems unwilling to explore a relationship with the singer, despite his desire and efforts

CHORUS
The singer is expressing his desire to be with the person he desires, which is the main theme of the song

I try to move on
Despite his desire, the singer is attempting to come to terms with the other person's lack of interest

But your perfect way
The other person's confidence and attractiveness make it difficult for the singer to move on

Has got this little child
The singer feels helpless and vulnerable in the face of his attraction to the other person

Asking why?
The singer is questioning why this person is unattainable to him, despite his feelings

But this world keeps spinning
Despite his struggles, the world around him continues to move at its own pace

As my heart stops beating
The singer feels emotionally overwhelmed and stuck in his love for the other person

Is there still no room inside?
Despite his long-standing affection, the other person doesn't seem to reciprocate the singer's feelings

woo oh oh
The singer is expressing his emotional vulnerability and longing

But if I could change your mind
The singer is still holding onto hope that the other person might see his worth if he could change their opinion

How would you want me?
The singer is asking the other person what they might want from him

Would you say you need me?
The singer is wondering if the other person needs him as much as he needs them

Cause I need you now!
The singer is expressing his deep desire to be with the other person

And if I could change your mind
The singer continues to hold onto hope that his love might be reciprocated

(please tell me I'm not the lonely one)
The singer is expressing his loneliness and hoping that the other person might feel the same way

(Please help me believe that I'm not the only one)
The singer is imploring the other person to help him feel less isolated in his affection for them

How would you hold me?
The singer is asking the other person how they might express their love for him

Would you say forever?
The singer is hoping for a long-lasting relationship with the other person

Or just leave me here to drown
The singer is afraid of being left alone, helpless, and sad in his love for the other person

OH and if I could change your mind
The singer is once again emphasizing how much he desires the other person to be with him

(change your mind)
The singer is continuing to hold onto hope that the other person might come around to loving him back

(Change your mind)
The singer is repeating the phrase to emphasize his desire for the other person to change their opinion of him
