Everything Must Change
David Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
The stolen glances, broken threads
The visions loomin' in our heads
To everything that might of been
No longer possible to hide
The feeling welling up inside
Ain't never been this close before
Ain't never felt so far away
When a moment
A moment changes everything
When a moment
A moment changes everything
When a moment, it changes everything
The summer sky is blushing pink
The heart is running out of sin
Could this just be the day, I think
When anything is possible
Well, hey now you've been here before
To see your face and slam the door
And waiting for the floor to drop
Feel like time is standing still
When a moment
A moment changes everything
When a moment
A moment changes everything
When a moment
A moment changes everything
When a moment, it changes everything
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
A moment,
(Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on)
a moment changes everything
A moment,
(Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on)
a moment changes everything
A moment,
(Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on)
a moment changes everything
A moment,
(Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on)
a moment changes everything
Then a moment
A moment changes everything
A moment
David's song "Everything Must Change" appears to be about the inevitability of change in life, no matter how hard we try to hold onto the past. The lyrics suggest that we all have things we wish we could have done differently - stolen glances and broken threads that represent missed opportunities and regrets. However, the song seems to acknowledge that while it's natural to dwell on what might have been, there comes a point where we must let go and accept that the past is gone and can never be reclaimed.
The chorus of the song speaks to the power of a single moment to alter our course in life. When that moment arrives, everything can change, and we must be ready to adapt and move forward. The repetition of "come on, come on" in the lyrics might be interpreted as a call to action - a reminder that we can't afford to hesitate when our lives are on the line.
As the song progresses, it shifts from a contemplative mood to one of hope and possibility. The reference to the pink summer sky and the heart running out of sin give the impression of a new day dawning, full of potential and promise. The idea that anything is possible is a powerful message, and the song seems to suggest that we should embrace this sense of optimism and use it to fuel our efforts to create a better future for ourselves and others.
Overall, "Everything Must Change" is a song that speaks to the human experience of longing for what might have been while also acknowledging the transformative power of change. It encourages us to let go of the past and embrace the fleeting moments that can shape our futures.

This song is brilliant. It's no wonder all the greats have to take it and make it their own.

This guy knows just the right notes to play...I love Brecker, Rollins, Charlie Parker and of course Coltrane.....but Sanborn hits me in the gut.

Yep!!! He’s the reason I picked up sax. Have you tried listening to Kenny Garret, Mike Phillips and Andy Snitzer.
