If You Ever Change Your Mind

Your voice sounds like my childhood bedroom

I'm home when I'm with you

You bring me to the edge of something real

Maybe I intentionally leave out

The parts of me you wouldn't be so sure about

I'd like to see myself through your eyes

And I've burned all kinds of bridges

But there's one that I keep hidden

Overgrown but clearly frequented

Like memories we visited The dead of night your

Pickup truck a future that we both made up

I'm cosplaying your perfect wife, the narrow road, an easy life

We had dinner at the edge of the world

You pulled out a picnic basket

Fresh cut flowers, all the fixings

We dangled our feet over the void

You're the only thing that matters

All the rest just sounds like noise

And if you say you love me

I won't hold it against you

People say all kinds of shit

When they've got nothing left to defend and

I'll love you right to the end

Of the world

Happiness crept in like an old friend

"Nice to see you, where've you been?"

Let's pretend I never cried

Or let you see my shadows

I held your hand then just let go

Took a breath and walked alone

Through the hotel doors

And this time I didn't even look back

You said I didn't have to leave

We idled in the parking lot

You're trying to convince me

That you've changed and I'm trying to convince

You I'm not so different when I'm ten feet taller

I can't make myself smaller in your passenger seat

But let's have dinner at the edge of the world

Pull out a picnic basket Fresh cut flowers, all the fixings

We'll dangle our feet over the void You're the only thing that matters

All the rest just sounds like noise

You said, "I'll be here

If you ever change your mind"

And I know it's true

Cause there's still a secret thread connecting me to you

And I'll be here if you ever change your mind

I guess that's our truce

A semblance of closure

In a love that's never over

When I say I don't want it

I don't know if that's the hardest truth

Or the biggest lie

But goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
