Heavy Change

If you keep your mouth shut I won’t say anything
It’s not even worth drawing breath about
Cos everyone loses their mind, honey, now and then
Seems the spaces between getting thinner now

So keep your eyes looking forward
I’ll tell you if any cracks appear
Trust me, I’ll be your shepherd
I’ll make sure the coast’s clear

I can see in your shoulders that you’re feeling bad
But there’s nothing as poisonous as regret
Maybe that wasn’t the best idea you’ve ever had
But you gotta remember that you ain’t dead yet

So if it plagues you, even for a while
Stay away from where those thoughts rest
‘Cos evidently you’re still on trial
Don’t you have some pride left

‘Cos it aches, babe, can break a young lover in two
Heavy change, babe, that’s all that’s bearing down on you
All that’s happened you can never reverse
Her or you, boy, but surely the both of you’s worse

I know you have it, I know you always have
You can change your mind ‘cos you’re strong enough
And I know that you’re much smarter than you may understand
And I’m convinced that you’re ten times as tough

So wake up proud in the morning
Shake that monkey off your back
And start running even faster
The best form of defense is attack

Cos it aches, babe, can break a young lover in two
Heavy change babe, that’s all that she wanted for you
All that’s happened, you can never reverse
Her or you, boy, but surely the both of you’s worse
