[Chorus]
All I ask is change
I need her by my side
I can't leave her behind
All this time remains

[Verse 1]
Blood rushin' like I got hypertension
Is there somethin' that I am missin' here?
There's tension between us, I'm sensin' it
From them to me, I am blendin' in
Heart is poundin' louder than an engine
I am attentive, you are sensitive
Question is: have I shown affection; have I drawn her into the other direction?
I treated you like a blessin'
'Cause to me, she's one of a kind
A girl like her is harder to find
Every time I think, I hear musical chimes
Every day I see her, she gives me butterflies
Angel in her presence, has a beautiful smile
Spirit in her soul, my inner peace of mind
Stare at your reflection, on the water you shine so bright
There's a bridge in between us, but there's no you and I
Never thought that we would draw the line, but it takes more than one word to describe
She's got me under control and I can't snap out
Has my everything, I'd hold it down
She's my everything I can't live without
Tried to reclaim who I knew, who is she now?
Tell me what did I do, she can longer be found
She's the piece to this puzzle, you can't [change] what's done
See how I've changed, then start changin' your mind
When I last saw your face, I should've known it's a sign
But I can only move forward
I can no longer rewind

[Chorus]
All I ask is change
I need her by my side
I can't leave her behind
All this time remains
All I ask is change
I need her by my side
I can't leave her behind
All this time remains
All I ask is change
I need her by my side
I can't leave her behind
All this time remains
All I ask is change
I need her by my side
I can't leave her behind
All this time remains

[Verse 2]
I never really knew her or at least the person I thought she was
I praise everyone who told you; it put me my in place, they made the right move
It's hard to know what she's thinkin'
I know I messed up, but let's face it: it might sound dumb, but we've faded
This chapter in life is overrated
I'd take back all the choices I've made, and I pray on the problems it created
My loyalty to her will stay here
I've wrote a story and let pages tear
You don't know what you got until it's gone
If we aren't meant, then I hope that she stays strong
I already know that you don't care, why do I bother?
If you need me, I'll be right here, unlike none other
You and I are forsaken, but what started this and what ends it?
There's a void in me, it's all vacant
She's avoiding me and can't blame her
I'm on this voyage, being I'm vague and
Do you trust me now
Or have I lost more than I've gained since then?
[Chorus]
All I ask is change
I need her by my side
I can't leave her behind
All this time remains
All I ask is change
I need her by my side
I can't leave her behind
All this time remains

[Verse 3]
So this is it, these things don't last long
On the sidelines' injured list with this cast on
Accepted my fate, this my last song
Taken, I'm the dude she'll always pass on
This my last dance?
Yet, I wanna be friends and that's it?
I'm not the one that's hard to cope with
Don't get mad, you knew I'd write this
(I miss those days when we could coexist in the same place and we knew we were on the same page)
Life isn't scripted, things can still change
I'm takin' my chances, I don't need a wager
I'm rushing for the end, but this is not race
I'd catch her if she falls and make sure she's okay
I'd put her above all, there's no time I'd waste
I treat a friend like they're family, trust me, she's safe
One last thing before you go on your way:
[Chorus]
All I ask is change
I need her by my side
I can't leave her behind
All this time remains
All I ask is change
I need her by my side
I can't leave her behind
All this time remains

[Bridge]
Geez, come on, just hear me please
Everyone knows I come in peace
One time, just once, can you agree and lay down the law with the gavel in which you weave?
You're thinking this boy is an odd one
I'll guarantee, and I promise: to get through to you, to being friends again, I'll start over, if I gotta

[Outro]
Never let me go, but you let me go
Do I even know why I chose you?
I don't wanna fade, I wanna see your face
All I ask is change, all it takes is change
Things need to change with you
Just not the way it turned out to be (Be, be)
