Change
Charlie Puth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One, two, three, four

Why are we looking down
On our sisters and brothers?
Isn't love, all that we got?
Don't we know everyone's
Got a father and mother?
The day we know we're all the same
Together we can make that change

Look around there are too many of us crying
And not enough love to go around
What a waste, another day
Another good one dying
But I know that the world will change
The day we know we're all the same

Why can't we just get along?
If loving one another's wrong
Then how are we supposed to
Get close to each other?
We gotta make that change, yeah
Why can't we just get along?

What a waste it would be to deny somebody
Of a chance to be theirselves
What a waste it would be if we hurt for nothing?
But I know that the world can change
The day we know we're all the same

(Why can't we just get along?)
Why can't we just get along?
(Why can't we just get along?)
If loving one another's wrong
(Why can't we just get along?)
Then how are we supposed to
Get close to each other?
We gotta make that change, yeah

I know we could break apart
We don't have to go that way
Not today

Why can't we just get along?
If loving one another's wrong
Then how are we supposed to
Get close to yeah
(Why can't we just get along?)
Why can't we just get along?
(Why can't we just get along?)
If loving one another's wrong
(Why can't we just get along?)
Then how are we supposed to
Get close to each other?
We gotta make that change, yeah





The change, yeah

Overall Meaning

The song "Change" by Charlie Puth is a call for unity, love, and acceptance of one another. The opening verse implores us to treat everyone equally since everyone has a father and a mother, and we are all human beings. The message is that we are more similar than we think, and we should strive towards making the world a better place by embracing our similarities rather than focusing on our differences. Puth highlights the fact that there is too much sadness and not enough love in the world and challenges us to make that much-needed change. This change can only happen when we start seeing others as our sisters and brothers, despite race, gender, or social status.


The chorus of the song stresses the importance of getting along with one another. Puth questions why we can't love one another if that is what we have left. He further opines that if we deny someone the chance to be themselves or hurt someone for no reason, we waste the opportunity to make the world a better place. The song's tone is hopeful and optimistic, suggesting that change is possible if we all contribute our quota to the change movement. The closing line indicates that the change can come soon if we all start today.


In summary, the song "Change" by Charlie Puth is a call for unity, love, and acceptance. A plea for us to embrace our similarities and work towards making the world a better place, focusing on all that we have in common. It emphasizes that change is possible if we all make a conscious effort by being kinder and more accepting of others.

The song's introduction


Why are we looking down
Why are we judging others?


On our sisters and brothers?
On other human beings?


Isn't love, all that we got?
Shouldn't love be our primary value?


Don't we know everyone's
Are we not aware that all


Got a father and mother?
Have parents?


The day we know we're all the same
When we understand we're all equal


Together we can make that change
We can influence positive change by working together


Look around there are too many of us crying
We are surrounded by sorrow and misery


And not enough love to go around
The world is void of affection


What a waste, another day
What a shame to lose another day


Another good one dying
Losing a valuable life


But I know that the world will change
However, I maintain hope that things can improve


The day we know we're all the same
If only we recognize our commonalities


Why can't we just get along?
Why can't we live in harmony?

If it's deemed inappropriate to care for others


Then how are we supposed to
How will we ever


Get close to each other?
Form close relationships?


We gotta make that change, yeah
We must usher in that change


What a waste it would be to deny somebody
It's unfortunate to prevent someone from


Of a chance to be theirselves
Being their true selves


What a waste it would be if we hurt for nothing?
Why bother causing harm?


But I know that the world can change
But I continue to have faith in positive transformation


I know we could break apart
I am aware that we could disintegrate


We don't have to go that way
We can avoid such a scenario


Not today
Not immediately


(Why can't we just get along?)
(Reiterated question - why can't we live in harmony?)


Then how are we supposed to
Then how will we ever


Get close to yeah
Develop close bonds?


We gotta make that change, yeah
We must bring about that positive change


The change, yeah
