Yeah and I'm .... Thinkin' of the night by the ocean / we made ourselves a fire it was smokin'
Though I had it figured out my way / I never saw the signs or what they say
Makin' a connection , fearin' the rejection No-one ever got me like you do
But I chose the slow route, blame it on self doubt / and I thought It could wait and so I'd hesitate, get it the next time around.
I could be halfway home / who's to know? / I could be closer to the truth than that
Stumble like a fool, I'm fallin' through you/ and I don't know how long you last
Cool, early morning dressed in gold / let the beauty wake you up
I'll state my case (BNC) , loaded with conviction/ all my days, tellin' no lies/ words like bait, tempt you to the other side/ But I'm never gonna change your mind.
I can see that you've been hurt somehow/ and like an open wound won't heal/ I'm here to try to help you now/ to give you something new that you can feel.
If I'm ever gonna say a prayer, now's the time to do it Amen! / there's trouble rising out of fear, and I don't wanna have to see the end.
I'm lookin' for a way inside, I'm going round in circles everyday / to understand what's in your mind, I wouldn't have it any other way.
I remember who you were before, all the years lay heavy on your soul/ Now I love you even more, I wanna bring your heart in from the cold.
I'm looking for a way inside, I'm searching' for the love you never gave/ and though I get no easy ride, I wouldn't have it any other way.
Well it's a thing to see, folks with all their ammo/disagree, on the frontline/ trust in me, leaving all my guns behind/ I'm never gonna change your mind...
Well it's a long way down, deeper than the ocean/Battleground , smouldering fire / There I've found all I'm ever gonna find /I'm never gonna change your mind...
Well I could hit so hard , never need a hammer / once I start , won't be afraid / To the heart , the core of the matter to find / I'm never gonna change your mind...
I could get mad at you, it would be so easy/ Almost cruel, tears in your eyes/ What's the use, you're all I really want besides/ I'm never gonna change your mind..
Well I could show the way, set a good example/Come what may , I'm always by your side/I'm the same, you're going with your feelings and it's fine/ I'm never gonna change your mind...
Well I could show the way , set a good example/ Come what may , I'm always by your side/ As you came , you're going with your feelings but it's fIne I'm Never gonna change your mind ..
