Change My Mind
One Direction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We should say goodbye
But we carry on
While everyone's gone
Never felt like this before
Are we friends or are we more
As I'm walking towards the door
But baby if you say you want me to stay
I'll change my mind
'Cause I don't wanna know I'm walking away
If you'll be mine
Won't go, won't go
So baby if you say you want me to stay
Stay for the night
I'll change my mind
Lean in when you laugh
We take photographs
There's no music on
But we dance along
Never felt like this before
Are we friends or are we more
As I'm walking towards the door
I'm not sure
But baby if you say you want me to stay
I'll change my mind
'Cause I don't wanna know I'm walking away
If you'll be mine
Won't go, won't go
So baby if you say you want me to stay
Stay for the night
I'll change my mind
I'll change my mind
Baby if you say you want me to stay
I'll change my mind
But baby if you say you want me to stay
I'll change my mind
'Cause I don't wanna know I'm walking away
If you'll be mine
Won't go, won't go
So baby if you say you want me to stay
Stay for the night
I'll change my mind
The lyrics of One Direction's Change My Mind are about a potentially romantic situation between two people. The song describes the end of a night together and the hesitation on whether to say goodbye or continue on. The singer is unsure if they are just friends or something more, especially as they lean in for laughs and dance without any music playing. As the singer approaches the door, they express uncertainty in leaving and missing out on a possible romantic connection. The lyrics are essentially an open invitation to the other person. The song's chorus highlights this willingness to change the singer's mind if the other wants them to stay the night and be more than just friends.
The song's lyrics are both passionate and relatable as they perfectly encapsulate the idea of love and relationships, especially those that are not defined by clear boundaries. It is a song that speaks to the undying hope for something more, the fear of missing out, and the bravery required to make a move. One Direction's version of the story is more complicated, emotional, and intense with the lyrics conveying the excitement, confusion, and tension felt in these situations.

We stayed when Zayn left
We stayed when they went on hiatus
We will stay even if they disband
We will stay dedicated whatever happens
But we will still pray and hope that they will reunite
