When Your Mind's Made Up
Glen Hansard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So, if you want something
And you call, call
Then I'll come running
To fight and I'll be at your door
When there's nothing worth running for

When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point trying to change it

When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point trying to stop it, you see

You're just like everyone
When the shit falls
All you wanna do is run away
And hide all by yourself
When there's far from, there's nothing else

When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point trying to change it

When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point even talking

When your mind's made up
When your mind's made up
There's no point trying to fight it

When your mind's, your mind
Love, love
There's no point trying to change it
When your love

So if you ever want something




And you call, call
Then I'll come running
