Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You left your shoes by the door
Same old smell in the hall
But your eyes look different now
Like you know this isn't all
You don't talk in circles anymore
You don't hide behind the blame
You stand there with that quiet face
And I can feel the change
[Pre-Chorus]
If you're moving, say it plain
Don't leave me guessing in the rain
I can hold on, I can bend
But I need to know what's changed
[Chorus]
Change babe, change babe
Say it to my face
Change babe, change babe
Don't let love go stale
If it's over, make it clean
If it's new, then let me in
Change babe, change babe
Tell me what you mean
[Verse 2]
Now the ring light's off at night
And the room looks softer too
You keep folding up old plans
Like they never fit you
I still know your laugh by heart
I still know your scar on your hand
But you're walking in a new shape now
And I'm trying to understand
[Pre-Chorus]
If you're moving, say it plain
Don't leave me guessing in the rain
I can hold on, I can bend
But I need to know what's changed
[Chorus]
Change babe, change babe
Say it to my face
Change babe, change babe
Don't let love go stale
If it's over, make it clean
If it's new, then let me in
Change babe, change babe
Tell me what you mean
[Bridge]
Maybe we outgrew the frame
Maybe we were brave too late
Maybe love is just the same
Till one of us becomes a shape
[Chorus]
Change babe, change babe
Say it to my face
Change babe, change babe
Don't let love go stale
If it's over, make it clean
If it's new, then let me in
Change babe, change babe
Tell me what you mean
You left your shoes by the door
Same old smell in the hall
But your eyes look different now
Like you know this isn't all
You don't talk in circles anymore
You don't hide behind the blame
You stand there with that quiet face
And I can feel the change
[Pre-Chorus]
If you're moving, say it plain
Don't leave me guessing in the rain
I can hold on, I can bend
But I need to know what's changed
[Chorus]
Change babe, change babe
Say it to my face
Change babe, change babe
Don't let love go stale
If it's over, make it clean
If it's new, then let me in
Change babe, change babe
Tell me what you mean
[Verse 2]
Now the ring light's off at night
And the room looks softer too
You keep folding up old plans
Like they never fit you
I still know your laugh by heart
I still know your scar on your hand
But you're walking in a new shape now
And I'm trying to understand
[Pre-Chorus]
If you're moving, say it plain
Don't leave me guessing in the rain
I can hold on, I can bend
But I need to know what's changed
[Chorus]
Change babe, change babe
Say it to my face
Change babe, change babe
Don't let love go stale
If it's over, make it clean
If it's new, then let me in
Change babe, change babe
Tell me what you mean
[Bridge]
Maybe we outgrew the frame
Maybe we were brave too late
Maybe love is just the same
Till one of us becomes a shape
[Chorus]
Change babe, change babe
Say it to my face
Change babe, change babe
Don't let love go stale
If it's over, make it clean
If it's new, then let me in
Change babe, change babe
Tell me what you mean
Style of Music
Pop-R&B with a pulsing mid-tempo groove, syncopated hand claps, warm sub-bass, and a clean backbeat; verse stays close and sparse with muted keys, pre-chorus opens into stacked harmonies and rising synth blur, chorus lands wide with doubled lead and a chanty hook. Add reverse swells into the pre, a glossy riser before each chorus, and tiny vocal chops between lines. Bright, intimate, radio-polished mix with silky top end.
