I Can Change

Raleigh Ritchie


See, I like drinking 'til I get blind drunk
Black out and lash out and act like a punk
Crush through town with my fake ID
End up face-down, am I in too deep?
Hungover, bed-bound soldier
Hand runs over the dip in her shoulder
With her, I see things clear
Lose my mind, I lose my fear
Though my life so far is bleary
I'll be fine if I keep her near me
I don't need the fights and tears
I don't even like my peers
We're so far away from here
We're so far away from here

When I think about my baby
I get a bit insecure
I need to be seen as a little bit more mature
Can't live without my baby, I'm sure
I can change
I can change
I just wanna get rid of all the excess pain
Everything's out to stop things going my way
She's the only thing to save me

See, I'm a madman when it comes to getting loud
I'm not a badman, but I'll still knock you out
"Oi listen, don't try it"
Triple JD, fuck a diet
See, my lady, she's an angel
She's a rock star, but she stays low
She got eyes that could melt the entire population
But I get tired of them
This situation just ain't enough
I don't wanna change her, I wanna make her
Prepare her, so she can see that this world we live in
Can be fucking tough
I mean it though, this world is cold
Only the brave survive when they sell their souls
This is my odyssey
I just hope she can keep up with me
This is my calling
It's a shame I'm susceptible to falling

When I think about my baby
I get a bit insecure
I need to be seen as a little bit more mature
Can't live without my baby, I'm sure
I can change
I can change
I just wanna get rid of all the excess pain
Everything's out to stop things going my way
She's the only thing to save me

Mr Officer, I'm a man of values
Yes, I might have dropped one or two Valium
Look, I don't wanna rot, I'm just a casual abuser
Sorry, user, don't be confused, sir
Not being rude, sir, just wanna go home
Look, I choose her, leave this life in the dust, I'mma lose her
I'm a loser, I'm a fucking loser, and I'mma lose her

When I think about my baby
I get a bit insecure
I need to be seen as a little bit more mature
Can't live without my baby, I'm sure
I can change
I can change
I just wanna get rid of all the excess pain
Everything's out to stop things going my way
She's the only thing to save me
