04 If I Could Change Your Mind
HAIM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No, please don't cry
I've never done this before, drove a million miles
Back when you were mine
I was too young to know you were the one to find

But if I was to say I regret it
Would it mean a thing?
'Cause every time I think (I think), think about it
Memories take me back to all of the wildest times

If I could change your mind
I would hit the ground running
It took time to realize
And I never saw it coming
Forgive my lying eyes
Gonna give you all or nothing
If I could change your mind
I could make you mine, make you mine

Now I won't go
I won't run away this time
You're all I wanna know

But if I was to say I'll forget it
Would it mean a thing?
'Cause every time I think (I think), think about it
Memories take me back to all of the wildest times

If I could change your mind
I would hit the ground running
It took time to realize
And I never saw it coming
Forgive my lying eyes
Gonna give you all or nothing
If I could change your mind
I could make you, make you mine

Visions of our love pass right by me
Your eyes are enough to remind me
Visions of our love pass right by me
Your eyes are enough to remind me
Visions of our love remind me

If I could change your mind
(Never mind all the times that I told you)
I would hit the ground running
It took time to realize
(Never mind all the times that I told you)
And I never saw it coming
Forgive my lying eyes
(Never mind all the times that I told you)
Gonna give you all or nothing
If I could change your mind
I could make you mine, make you mine

Visions of our love remind me
(If could change your mind)
(Never mind all the times that I told you)
Visions of our love remind me
(It took time to realize)
(Never mind all the times that I told you)
Visions of our love remind me
(Forgive my lying eyes)
(Never mind all the times that I told you)
Visions of our love remind me




(If I could change your mind)
(I could make you mine, make you mine)

Overall Meaning

The song "If I Could Change Your Mind" by Haim/Days are Gone is about regret over a lost love and wanting to change things to make that person love you again. The lyrics express a desire to make up for past mistakes and emphasize the importance of memories and realizing what you had when it's too late. The songs also touches on themes of forgiveness, sacrifice and second chances.


The first verse describes the regret of not recognizing the importance of the person when they were together. The lines "Back when you were mine, I was too young to know you were the one to find" highlights the realization that comes with hindsight. The second verse apologizes for the wrongs done and the chorus repeats the desire to change the past and the actions that would have been taken to remedy the situation.


The bridge talks about remembering the good times and how memories of love still linger despite the hurt and the chorus is repeated twice to echo the yearning to fix past mistakes.

I don't want you to be upset


I've never done this before, drove a million miles
I haven't been in a situation like this and I've traveled far to be with you


Back when you were mine
In the past, we were together

When we were together, I was too immature to realize how special you are


But if I was to say I regret it Would it mean a thing?
If I expressed remorse, would it really make a difference?

Forgive my lying eyes Gonna give you all or nothing If I could change your mind I could make you mine, make you mine
I'm sorry for misleading you in the past and I'm willing to give my all if you give me a second chance; if you change your mind, we could be together

I won't leave like I did before, but I have a question


Visions of our love pass right by me Your eyes are enough to remind me Visions of our love remind me
I'm constantly reminded of our past relationship by my memories and when I look into your eyes

I continue to think about our relationship and if you were to reconsider, we could have another chance at love

No, please don't cry

'Cause every time I think (I think) think about it
Memories take me back to all of the wildest times
If I could change your mind

It took time to realize
And I never saw it coming
Forgive my lying eyes

I dont understand why they arent more famous. They are totally original and cool! Great music a style

@danohyeah5893

Not sure about original. They're heavily influenced by Fleetwood Mac. But they are very talented and made a brilliant debut album, so i don't know why they're not bigger. Seems people prefer 'songs' like Gucci Gang to music like this.

@cypresscempr3s399

Famous music is crap 😎

@penelopemartinez2672

The are to cool
