Sitting on the train I said "Baby I'll change, "
So many things on the answering machine
I know I need a shave and to get you paid
But clean sheets are all that I'll take

I just need a friend to stand by me
I know that would feel just like drowning
If you could hear my message on the phone
If not ok then maybe I'll learn to grow

Coming your way I said "Baby I'll change, "
I know I can be the one you wanna see
But I'm acting kinda strange and you're turning away
Yeah my hands can shake but I'm ok

I just need some green and a place to stay
In 21 days I'll be so straight
If you could hear my message on the phone
If not ok then maybe I'll just lay low

Running away I said, "Baby I'll change, "
But the way you look at me just stabs and stings
And the words you say just ring and ring
So, what's another drink, hey maybe I'll rage

Cravings are way too much of a weight
It all just feels like rain on me
If you could hear my message on the phone
If not ok then maybe I'll just leave you alone

Walking away I said, "Baby, I'll change"
All the pain and days of my mistakes
But the stain won't fade or go away
No matter how I pray I just fixate

This life just feels like a big bad dream
I don't wanna bring you down with me
If you could hear my message on the phone
If not ok then maybe, my baby, I'll go

I'm fading away, just remember my name
Can you hear me say, "Hey, Baby I'll change"
See the way I ride the train
With a faith in me against the grain

All the right seeds were planted in me
A perfect soil so fertile and green
When you're in the field, all purple and gold
Look for me in the flowers that just won't grow

Baby, I can change
Baby, I can change

Baby, I can change
Baby, I can change
