Lyric

I signed the papers

Picked a date

Told everybody

I couldn't wait

Bought the boxes

Made a list

Put little checkmarks

Next to everything

Then Tuesday morning

Making coffee

I looked around

And finally thought

I don't want this

Not anymore

I waited for

Some bigger reason

But maybe changing

Is reason enough

I changed my mind

That's all it is

It doesn't mean

I couldn't do it

I changed my mind

I chose again

The person I am now

Gets a say in this

I don't owe yesterday

The rest of my life

I changed my mind

And this time

I'm listening

Called my mother

Around half past eight

Practiced the words

Before she picked up

She went quiet

For a second

Then said

"Okay, what do you want?"

Funny how one

Simple question

Can make a room

Feel twice as big

I didn't have

A perfect answer

But I finally had

An honest one

Maybe a promise

To an older me

Doesn't have to be

A life sentence

I changed my mind

That's all it is

No dramatic ending

No one to blame

I changed my mind

I turned around

Sometimes another road

Makes more sense now

I don't have to finish

What doesn't fit

I changed my mind

And I'm still

Moving forward

Keep the deposit

Change the ticket

Tell the people

Who need to know

Take the boxes

Back downstairs

Cross that plan

Off the wall

Nothing broke

The sky stayed up

Wednesday came

Like Wednesdays do

Maybe I made

Changing my mind

Bigger than

It ever was

I changed my mind

And I'm okay

I don't need

To call it failure

Some things end

Before they start

Some good decisions

Look like turning back

I can want

A different morning

I can choose

A different view

I changed my mind

Not because

I lost my way

I changed my mind

Because I found

Another one

New plan

I'll tell you

When I have one
