A Lot's Gonna Change
Weyes Blood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before I ever fell down
Go back to a time when I was just a girl
When I had the whole world
Gently wrapped around me
And no good thing could be taken away
If I still believe that hearts don't lie
But, babe
A lot's gonna change
In your lifetime
Try to leave it all behind
In your (in your, in your, in your)
Lifetime
Born in a century lost to memories
Falling trees, get off your knees
No one can keep you down
If your friends and your family
Sadly don't stick around
It's high tide, you'll learn to get by
'Cause you got what it takes
In your lifetime
Try to leave it all behind
In your (in your, in your, in your)
Lifetime
Let me change my words
Show me where it hurts
