(Thought I'd be your wife
Rest of my life)
(Thought I'd be your wife
Rest of my life)
I fell in love with potential
And consequentially I
Put all my energy into making you my guy
Thought it'd be easy to make you see
All the pictures that I
Created of us
A fairytale for the rest of my life
Rest of my life
Thought I'd be your wife
Rest of my life
Maybe if I stay awake, cry
Turn other people down
Would you still be mine?
Maybe if I knock on wood, pray
Throw pennies in a wishing well
Baby can you change?
Baby can you change for me?
Baby can you change for me?
Baby can you change for me?
Baby can you change for me?
I created an imposter
A tangible figment of my imagination
Because I was too busy hoping you were someone else
That you'd unmask yourself
And morph into like
Superman or something
I'm tired of being wrong
Thinking that fire won't burn me
Like I'm invincible I
Found myself eager to change you
Neglecting what was inside
Blinded by my own imagination
My patience was thin
It didn't matter
Because all I wanted was a boyfriend
Someone I can depend
Stay with me til the end
Be my boyfriend
Maybe if I stay awake
Turn other people down
Would you still be mine?
Maybe if I knock on wood, pray
Throw pennies in a wishing well
Baby can you change?
Baby can you change for me?
Baby can you change for me?
Baby can you change for me?
Baby can you change for me?
I think that we can make history
Baby just you and me happy
Maybe it's true we're meant to be
Baby if you just change for me
