Change the Song

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You said, “Take the long way home,” so I turned past the river bend A paper map across your knees, a borrowed car, a weekend We missed the exit twice, then laughed until the fuel ran low Some roads don’t need a reason, they just teach you where to go [Pre-Chorus] If the plan falls through, let it There’s a better view ahead [Chorus] Change the song, change the weather Turn the page and pull me closer What we lose can set us free Make a little room for me Change the song, don’t wait forever We can start with one small measure No perfect words, no guarantees Just you, just me, and somewhere new to be [Verse 2] At the diner by the county line, you wrote your number on a receipt The coffee tasted burnt and thin, but every word felt sweet Now seasons leave their marks on us, like rings beneath the bark Still, you know the quiet parts that nobody else can hear in the dark [Pre-Chorus] If the old way breaks, let it There’s a better view ahead [Chorus] Change the song, change the weather Turn the page and pull me closer What we lose can set us free Make a little room for me Change the song, don’t wait forever We can start with one small measure No perfect words, no guarantees Just you, just me, and somewhere new to be [Bridge] Put the past beside the window Let the morning take its place I don’t need to know the ending I just need to see your face [Final Chorus] Change the song, change the weather Turn the page and pull me closer What we lose can set us free Make a little room for me Change the song, don’t wait forever We can start with one small measure No perfect words, no guarantees Just you, just me, and somewhere new to be [Outro] Somewhere new to be Somewhere new to be
