I'll Change

Looking out across suburban yards

To the construct of our days through the thinning of the trees

How come I only build a house of cards?

That gets blown to pieces by the fall's first fickle breeze

When I feel that stirring, the illicit kiss

That's just the cool tongue of the devil

With a sucker in his midst

One day I'll change, you'll be the first one that

I callI owe you an apology, too many thanks and that's not all

I've been running long before

I learned to crawl

My calendar lies crumbled laid to waste

It's been scrawled on, thumbed through and changed

Will this be the measure of my days?

Dinners and appointments and deadlines

I can't make

And when I start to feel it making sense for me

That's just hope springing eternally, yeah

One day I'll change, you'll be the first one that

I callI owe you an apology, too many thanks and that's not all

I've been running long before

I learned to crawl

Outside the summer's gone for good

Dying impatiens stacked up wood

My friend will get together to cook

Talk about what happened, take a second look

The master loves the servant who blind heeds him

The husband, the obedient wife

The snake will always bite the hand that feeds him

Even if you love him, even if you save his life

One day I'll change, you'll be the first one that

I callI owe you an apology, too many thanks and that's not all

I've been running long before

I learned to crawl
