I've been trying lately now to try and change my mind
I've been treading through the daylight without seeing the sunshine
I've been staring out the window, hoping for something that ain't never gonna come
The walking man walks, the talking man talks, the running man's gotta run
But if I could get a little comfort in that deep shade of night
This mean old godforsaken world might just seem all right
You could change my mind
I've been trying lately now to try and fix myself
I've been buying a ton of novels and just leaving them on the shelf
I've been getting down to the real deal but the real deal never shows
I've been stumbling around asking everyone where the soul of man goes
And if I could get a little comfort in that deep shade of night
This mean old godforsaken world might just seem all right
You could change my mind
Put new pavement on the old roads, new dogs at the door
Sometimes the things we need are the things we've always had before
You could change my mind
