An Examination of “I Can Change”

You can call me a sinner
For loving beauty and minds
When broken hearted and lonely
I started calling you mine
It’s always June when you love me
And now we’re closing July
The clock had never been ticking
But when it rang it was time

I can’t wait for where you’re going
It’s a waste of my time
And I can’t love the life you’re growing
Cause I’m selfish and blind
My imagination stops
At what my fingers fill in
I make the most of what comes to me
And the least what has been

I loved the things you said to me
The idea of life
With someone I could remember
From picture frames and key-lime
But I grew out of my birthday
And everything it implies
So just forget that you loved me
And I’ll forget that I cried

I can’t wait for where you’re going
It’s a waste of my time
And I can’t love the life you’re growing
Cause I’m selfish and blind
My imagination stops
At what my fingers fill in
I make the most of what comes to me
And the least what has been

I started wearing mascara
Because I changed my mind
Went back to waking up later
And staying up at night
I know you’re looking at pictures
And thinking that I lied
But if you know me, you know
That I shut down sometimes

I can’t wait for where you’re going
It’s a waste of my time
And I can’t love the life you’re growing
Cause I’m selfish and blind
My imagination stops
At what my fingers fill in
I make the most of what comes to me
And the least what has been
