## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

No, please don't cry

I've never done this before

Drove a million miles

Back when you were mine

I was too young to know

You were the one to find

**[Pre-Chorus]**

But if I was to say I regret it

Would it mean a thing?

'Cause every time I think (I think) think about it

Memories take me back

To all of our wildest times

**[Chorus]**

If I could change your mind

I would hit the ground running

It took time to realize

And I never saw it coming

Forgive my lying eyes

Gonna give you all or nothing

If I could change your mind

I could make you mine, make you mine

**[Verse 2]**

Now, I won't go

I won't run away this time

You're all I want to know

**[Pre-Chorus]**

But if I was to say I'll forget it

Would it mean a thing?

'Cause every time I think (I think) think about it

Memories take me back

To all of the wildest times

**[Chorus]**

If I could change your mind

I would hit the ground running

It took time to realize

And I never saw it coming

Forgive my lying eyes

Gonna give you all or nothing

If I could change your mind

I could make you mine, make you mine

**[Bridge]**

Visions of our love pass right by me

Your eyes are enough to remind me

Visions of our love pass right by me

Your eyes are enough to remind me

Visions of our love remind me

**[Chorus]**

If I could change your mind

(Never mind all the times that I told you)

I would hit the ground running

It took time to realize

(Never mind all the times that I told you)

And I never saw it coming

Forgive my lying eyes

(Never mind all the times that I told you)

Gonna give you all or nothing

If I could change your mind

I could make you mine, make you mine

**[Outro]**

Visions of our love remind me

(If could change your mind)

(Never mind all the times that I told you)

Visions of our love remind me

(It took time to realize)

(Never mind all the times that I told you)

Visions of our love remind me

(Forgive my lying eyes)

(Never mind all the times that I told you)

Visions of our love remind me

(If I could change your mind)

(I could make you mine, make you mine)
