All I ever prove is all I still don’t know (or “....is it’s out of my control”)
But all I ever prove is that life, it ebbs and flows. Mountains rise and mountains move when we hold on and we let go.
Verse 3 idea inspired by Beth/keithcurtis: ...the words I waste tangled in pride, they accumulate and widen that (the) divide...
Another Verse 3 idea:....spin and pace, plot my next (most) convincing line.....
We never want to think we’re wrong, always believing that we’re right, but we let go and we hold on. Yeah, that’s how we make it through the night.
Verse 3 idea.....the words I waste tangled in pride have a bitter taste they always seem to leave behind....
Try to let it go, try to let it be, try hard not to show, that I’m scared of what I see
Well I could state my case, try to win you over, say it face to face, or post it online, either way seems somehow I always find, I’m never gonna change your mind (1st lines are Beth’s & someone else used “face to face,” which I like
I could change your channel, emoji your post, hang a canvas with convincing quotes, but instead I’ll laugh and leave all that behind, cause I’m never gonna change your mind
...Instead I’ll laugh and leave all that behind, cause I’m never gonna change your mind
I could point out all the ways I see you’re blind, but I’m never gonna change your mind

I could change your channel, dislike your post
“Well you’re never gonna change my mind,” said when I knew everything, leaving Abilene. We were seventeen and forty-nine, forty-nine and seventeen.
Well you’re never gonna change my mind, there’s no compromise no place in between, from seventeen to forty-nine, and forty-nine to seventeen
I’m never gonna change your mind, why do I think I always have to prevail?
I’m never gonna change your mind, I’ve learned our differences have different plans
“You’re never gonna change my mind,” said seventeen to forty-nine.
I’m never gonna change your mind, can’t turn stone into flesh, water to wine
Beth Nielsen Chapman commented on mjzmelton's lyric:
"this has some really cool aspects...I love how youre making that last line very hooky by switching it around but for this to work we have to know what it refers to....49 to 17 what? age? it's still a little murky...but I commend this cool turn around. How can you get the info in the line before? songwriting is sometimes hard work 😓 "
