Kelsea Ballerini - SUBJECT TO CHANGE Lyrics
SUBJECT TO CHANGE
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Seasons do it
And it happens when the night goes day
Going through it, I knew it
The right and the hard thing are sometimes the same
Thank God, he broke my heart in my hometown
Thank God, mama wanted to move
Thank God, I got a strong gut feeling
Leading me to somewhere new
I'm subject to going from zero to feeling obsessed
To happy and laughing, then being upset
But if one thing's the same
It's that I'm subject to change, yeah
I guess, haven't decided if I'm gonna stay a brunette
A little unpredictable, I confess
That if one thing's the same
It's that I'm subject to change, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Oh) yeah, yeah, yeah
If I'm honest
Growing up, it kind of hurts like hell
It's chaotic, ironic
But it's how I learn to find myself, yeah (ah-ah-ah-ah)
Thank God, I don't know about tomorrow (ah-ah-ah-ah, ah)
Thank God, I take it day by day (ah-ah-ah-ah)
Oh, I don't think about the chapters
It's all about turning the page
I'm subject to going from zero to feeling obsessed
To happy and laughing, then being upset
But if one thing's the same
It's that I'm subject to change, yeah
I guess, haven't decided if I'm gonna stay a brunette
A little unpredictable, I confess
That if one thing's the same
It's that I'm subject to change my mind
(I'll change my mind, I'll change my mind)
And that's alright (yeah, that's alright, yeah, that's alright)
I'm subject to going from zero to feeling obsessed
To happy and laughing, then being upset
But if one thing's the same
It's that I'm subject to change, yeah
I guess, haven't decided if I'm gonna stay a brunette
A little unpredictable, I confess
That if one thing's the same
It's that I'm subject to change my mind
(I'll change my mind, I'll change my mind)
And that's alright (and that's alright, yeah, that's alright)
Yeah, that's alright
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

THE LITTLE THINGS
(Ah)
(Ah) oh, yeah
Save your money on the roses, baby
Just leave a daisy on the dashboard
Just pick me up in your old Bronco, baby
Don't gotta ride in on a white horse
When you're younger they say it's a kiss in the rain
Throwing rocks at a window
But it's when we're in a crowded room, put your hand on my back
And waiting on me in the morning with my coffee black
Back to the basics 'cause they're bigger than they seem, yeah
Give me that typical, simple love, it's the little things
Oh, yeah
Yeah, it's the little things
(Ah)
It's the little things
It's knowing when you need to pull me closer
And when you need to give me my space
It's wine and vinyl, my head on your shoulder
Don't gotta treat it like a first date
Used to think it would be a backseat sex scene
Drawing hearts on the window
Mm, but it's when we're in a crowded room, put your hand on my back
And waiting on me in the morning with my coffee black
Back to the basics 'cause they're bigger than they seem, yeah
(They're bigger than they seem, yeah)
Give me that typical, simple love, it's the little things (ooh)
Mm-mm
Yeah, it's the little things
(Ah)
Ooh, it ain't grandiose (ah)
Just pull me in and kiss me slow
Ooh, it ain't just for show (it ain't just for show)
(Ah) let's not go big, let's just go home
It's when we're in a crowded room, put your hand on my back
And waiting on me in the morning with my coffee black
Back to the basics 'cause they're bigger than they seem, yeah
Give me that typical, simple love, it's the little things (ooh)
When I go drinking with the girls and you leave on the light
The way you get me laughing in the middle of a fight
Back to the basics 'cause they're bigger than they seem, yeah
(Bigger than they seem, yeah)
Give me that typical, simple love, it's the little things
Yeah, it's the little (it's the little)
The little things
Yeah, it's the little (ooh)
Yeah, it's the little things

I CANT HELP MYSELF
Mm, I could go to bed before 11:30
I could go read a book that tells me not to worry
I could do a load of laundry that's just been sitting dirty
I could show up on time and maybe even early
But oh, oh, here I go again
Oh, oh, can't say no
When the sun starts falling
The girls start calling
The wine comes off of the shelf
Then the drums start to kick in
And all my inhibitions are gone by a quarter to twelve
Yeah, I try to be an angel
Then the whole thing goes to hell
Lord, help me, I just
I can't help myself
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it) mm
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
And I could go for a walk and maybe eat a salad
I could pick up my guitar and write another ballad
I could even meditate to live with less distraction
All that pick me up at eight, I'm trying to kick the habit
But oh, oh, here I go again
Oh, oh, I can't say no
When the sun starts falling
The girls start calling
The wine comes off of the shelf
Then the drums start to kick in
And all my inhibitions are gone by a quarter to twelve
Yeah, I try to be an angel
Then the whole thing goes to hell
Lord, help me, I just
I can't help myself
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
(No, she can't)
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it) mm
(No, she can't)
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
No, I can't help myself
(No, she can't)
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
My therapist says (she says) I do this a lot (a lot)
I see her on Monday
I'm coming in hot
'Cause when the sun starts falling
The girls start calling
The wine comes off of the shelf
Yeah, the drums start to kick in
And all my inhibitions are gone by a quarter to twelve
Yeah, I try to be an angel
Then the whole thing goes to hell, mm
Yeah, I should probably stay home tonight, I know
But oh well
Lord, help me, I just
I can't help myself
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
(No, she can't)
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
Ooh yeah yeah, yeah
(No, she can't)
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
(No, she can't) no, I can't
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
I can't

If You Go Down (I'm Goin' Down Too)
I've known you since Brad and Angelina
We go back like Pontiac seats
If I got an aisle with a mess I gotta clean up
I know you'll be showin' up with bleach
All those names that we don't ever speak of
Got a couple nights that have slipped my mind
Proof and photographs have been deleted
If you ever needed an alibi
'Cause dirt on you is dirt on me
And we both know our hands ain't clean
If it all blows up and we end up on the news
If you go down, I'm goin' down too
It's a good thing we're each other's kinda crazy
Ain't no judgment or keepin' score
If you rob a bank, I'm your getaway Mercedes
God knows that's what friends are for
'Cause dirt on you is dirt on me
And we both know our hands ain't clean
If it all blows up and we end up on the news
If you go down, I'm goin' down too
If you go down, I'm goin' down too, yeah
I keep all your secrets by the dozen
You know where my skeletons sleep
Hypothetically, if you ever kill your husband
Hand on the Bible, I'd be lyin' through my teeth
'Cause dirt on you is dirt on me
And we both know our hands ain't clean
If it all blows up and we end up on the news
If you go down, I'm goin' down too
Our bodies are buried and they're in the same ditch
So even if I wanted to, I can't snitch
30 to life would go quicker with you, yeah
So, if you go down, I'm goin' down too
If you go down, I'm goin' down too
If you go down, I'm goin' down too

LOVE IS A COWBOY
Rough around the edges, stops you in your tracks
Wrecks you in the worst way, when it looks like that
Knocks you off the horse, but it keeps you comin' back
Love is a cowboy, mm-mm
You can wrap your arms around it, but you can't make it stay
All the bad ones say they're good and all the good ones ride away
A little El Dorado and a little bit John Wayne
Love is a cowboy, mm-mm
Makes your heart feel like wild horses in your chest
Trying to catch it's like tryna tame the wild, wild west
And when I'm with him, it's like ropin' the wind
Love is a cowboy, mm-mm
Take you dancin' in that neon, leave you crying in it too
Yeah, gets you drunk like whiskey, and higher than that moon
So, when you get that feeling, hold on to your boots
Love is a cowboy, mm-mm
It makes your heart feel like wild horses in your chest
Trying to catch it's like tryna tame the wild, wild west
And when I'm with him, it's like ropin' the wind
Love is a cowboy, mm-mm
It'll make you feel like ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Or it'll leave you blue, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
No matter what you do, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah, love is a cowboy, mm-mm
It makes your heart feel like wild horses in your chest
Trying to catch it's like tryna tame the wild, wild west
It's reckless and rugged, it's sweet and it's stubborn
Love is a cowboy, mm-mm
Yeah, and when I'm with him, it's like ropin' the wind
Love is a cowboy

MUSCLE MEMORY
(Uh huh)
(Uh huh)
(Uh huh)
Your hair's a little longer
(Uh huh)
How long will you be back in town?
(Uh huh)
Are you still drinking that Jack and water?
(Uh huh)
Why don't you let me buy you this next round?
I can feel my heart beating faster every time you get close
I can pick you out of a lineup, baby, even with my eyes closed
Oh, something I can't control comes over me
My hands know just where to be
It's muscle memory
And yeah, my body won't forget our history
We fall back so easily
It's muscle memory
Uh huh (uh huh)
When it comes to you and me
Uh huh (uh huh)
I know just what you need
Uh huh
Do you still got that Silverado?
(Uh huh)
For old time's sake let's take a ride
(Uh huh)
Tonight is already on autopilot, baby
Let's ride the long way home tonight
That's right
Every little thing comin' out of your mouth, I like how it sounds
We've set it in motion and there ain't no slowin' it, even if we tried now
Oh, something I can't control comes over me
My hands know just where to be
It's muscle memory
And yeah, my body won't forget our history
We fall back so easily
It's muscle memory
Uh huh (uh huh)
When it comes to you and me
Uh huh (uh huh)
I know just what you need
Uh huh
(Uh huh)
Knew how this was gonna end up before you said hello
So magnetic, every time we let ourselves go back down that road
Oh, something I can't control comes over me
My hands know just where to be (my hands know where)
It's muscle memory (yeah)
And yeah, my body won't forget our history (my body won't forget)
We fall back so easily
It's muscle memory
Uh huh (uh huh)
When it comes to you and me
Uh huh (uh huh)
It's practice done perfectly
Uh huh (uh huh)
Yeah, I know just what you need
Uh huh (uh huh)
It's muscle memory
Uh huh
Your hair's a little longer, mm
How long will you be back in town?

I GUESS THEY CALL IT FALLIN
I guess they call it fallin' 'cause you end up on the ground
You can't live forever with your head up in the clouds
Think it's written in the stars 'til they burn out, mm (burn out)
I was like, oh my God, every thought played like a video
Left your shirt, and the hurt, now I curse your Acqua di Gio
That night you told me I hung your moon (hung your moon)
I jumped right in with no parachute (no parachute, uh uh)
I guess they call it fallin' 'cause you end up on the ground
You can't live forever with your head up in the clouds
Think it's written in the stars 'til they burn out
Did you only get me high to let me down?
I guess they call it fallin' 'cause you end up on your face
Sleeping by myself in a bed I didn't make
Think it's written in the stars 'til you're all alone
Did you only get me high to let me go?
I shoulda known
Shoulda known, shoulda known, shoulda known (shoulda known)
(I guess they call it fallin')
I shoulda known, shoulda known, shoulda known (shoulda known, yeah)
Held me up, every night, you and I, damn near invincible
Then the wind, blowing in, threw me right off of my pedestal
That night you told me I hung your moon (that night you told me I hung your moon)
Oh, I jumped right in with no parachute
I guess they call it fallin' 'cause you end up on the ground
You can't live forever with your head up in the clouds
Think it's written in the stars 'til they burn out (burn out)
Did you only get me high to let me down? (down, down)
I guess they call it fallin' 'cause you end up on your face
Sleeping by myself in a bed I didn't make
Think it's written in the stars 'til you're all alone
Did you only get me high to let me go?
I shoulda known
Shoulda known, shoulda known, shoulda known (I shoulda known, I shoulda known, I shoulda)
(I guess they call it fallin') (I shoulda)
I shoulda known, shoulda known, I shoulda known
(I guess they call it fallin')
I shoulda known gravity was gonna pull
You and me, down, down, down
But I know now
I shoulda known gravity was gonna pull
You and me, down, down, down
But I know now
Oh, I guess they call it fallin' 'cause you end up on the ground
You can't live forever with your head up in the clouds
Think it's written in the stars 'til they burn out
Did you only get me high to let me down? (down, down)
I guess they call it fallin' 'cause you end up on your face (end up on your face)
Sleeping by myself in a bed I didn't make (I didn't make)
Think it's written in the stars 'til you're all alone
Did you only get me high to let me go?
I shoulda known
Shoulda known, shoulda known, shoulda known (I shoulda known)
(I guess they call it fallin')
I shoulda known, shoulda known, shoulda known
If you were only gonna let me go
Shoulda known, shoulda known, shoulda known (I guess they call it fallin')
(I guess they call it fallin')
Shoulda known, shoulda known, shoulda known
(I guess they call it fallin') yeah
I guess they call it fallin'
(I guess they call it fallin')
If you were only gonna let me go

WEATHER
I've been thinkin' you've been thinkin' 'bout something else, mm
Yeah, we felt perfect, now I'm nervous, can you even tell? Mm
Did I wake you up on the wrong side of the bed?
Is there someone's body that you'd rather be laying with instead?
I'm so tired of your weather
Stormy when we're together
Yeah, we used to be sunny and 75
We were dancing, baby, rain or shine
Had my dress in your dresser
Now somehow, I need a sweater
How'd we go from summer to cold as ice?
Are we really lovers if you're changing your mind
Like the weather, weather, weather?
Uh-huh
Get in or get out
But honestly, right now, you're killin' my vibe
(Killin' it, killin' it, killin' it)
(Killin' it, killin' it, killin' it)
So, if you wanna stay stuck in the clouds
Keep 'em around but not in my sky, mmhm
When it hits the fan, I don't know who you're gonna be
I'm not asking for much, just a little reliability
I'm so tired of your weather
Stormy when we're together
Yeah, we used to be sunny and 75
We were dancing, baby, rain or shine
Had my dress in your dresser
Now somehow, I need a sweater
How'd we go from summer to cold as ice?
Are we really lovers if you're changing your mind
Like the weather, weather, weather?
Baby, talk to me
Tell me what you need
Don't leave me hanging anymore
'Cause I'm so tired of your weather
Stormy when we're together
Yeah, we used to be sunny and 75
We were dancing, baby, rain or shine
Had my dress in your dresser
Now somehow, I need a sweater
How'd we go from summer to cold as ice?
Are we really lovers if you're changing your mind
Like the weather, weather, weather?
Like the weather, weather, weather?

UNIVERSE
I don't know
Why the world is spinning or why the flowers grow
Why the sky is blue or why the clouds make snow
Maybe I'm not supposed to understand
If it's just dumb luck or somewhere in God's plan
But whatever got you here to hold my hand
Is some kind of magic
You make me believe in something bigger than just me
Baby, you make the impossible
Feel like it's all logical
Lying in your arms, could be Jupiter or Mars
You say I hang the stars in your eyes
But you put the universe in mine (oh)
(Oh) mm
I don't get
How you broke into my mind and opened it
Maybe someone up there lost a bet
'Cause now I'm saying all the things I never say
And living in my body, not my head, mm
Who I was before you, I forget
Yeah, it's some kind of magic
You make me believe in something bigger than just me
Baby, you make the impossible
Feel like it's all logical
Lying in your arms, could be Jupiter or Mars
You say I hang the stars in your eyes
But you put the universe in mine (ooh)
Mine, oh, mi-mi-mi-mine
Mine
Mine, oh, mi-mi-mi-mine
You say I hang the stars in your eyes
But you put the universe in mine

WALK IN THE PARK
(Ooh)
You could go to LA if you want 75
Nothing but clear blue skies
And Colorado's okay, if you want mountain air
You'll always find it there
If you want consistency, then that's something different than me
Sometimes I'm a summer day, sometimes I start raining
Always one season away from everything changing
I'm always looking for greener grass, on a carousel that goes too fast
Up and down like a swing set heart, I'm no walk in the park
You could go back to your hometown
To the lady next door who doesn't need nothin' more, mm
Search the whole world around for the steadier kind
Who you can read all of her mind
Loving me is no easy breeze, but don't miss the forest through the trees
Sometimes I'm a summer day, sometimes I start raining
Always one season away from everything changing
I'm always looking for greener grass on a carousel that goes too fast
Up and down like a swing set heart, I'm no walk in the park
Oh, I'm no walk in the park
I'm the sum of my parts, I'm a shot in the dark
I already know, I'm no walk in the park
I'm the sum of my parts, I'm a shot in the dark
I thought you should know, yeah
That sometimes I'm a summer day, sometimes I start raining
Always one season away from everything changing
I'm always looking for greener grass on a carousel that goes too fast
Up and down like a swing set heart, I'm no walk in the park
(Ooh) I already know, and I just thought you should know

Heartfirst
Met him at a party, accidentally brushed his body
On the way to get a drink at the bar
I couldn't wait 'til later, talking in the elevator
Then we're kissing in the back of the car
That voice in my head says to slow down
But it can't see the way you're looking at me right now
It may not be next week, what I need
Then again, maybe it might be
Could be forever or we might break
That's just the kind of risk that we take
My head is yelling that I could get hurt
But I'm gonna jump right in
Baby, with my heart first
I gotta have ya, gotta see if this works
I gotta have ya, wake up in your t-shirt
Who knows what'll happen, ain't that always kinda magic
When you don't know who's holding the cards
Could be a wish I never knew ya or permanently tattoo ya
Only the moon knows what's in the stars (what's in the stars)
Mm, that voice in my head says to slow down
But it can't feel your hands on my hips right now
It may not be next year, what I need
Then again, maybe it might be
Could be forever or we might break
That's just the kind of risk that we take
My head is yelling that I could get hurt
But I'm gonna jump right in
Baby, with my heart first
I gotta have ya, gotta see if this works
(I gotta have ya)
I gotta have ya, wake up in your t-shirt
I gotta have ya, diving in heart first
(Heart first)
I gotta have ya
Ooh, I gotta have ya
And I can't even stop myself anymore
(Ooh, I gotta have ya)
Oh, we couldn't end the perfect night outside my front door
Could be forever or we might break
That's just the kind of risk that we take
My head is yelling that I could get hurt
But I'm gonna jump right in
Baby, with my heart first
I gotta have ya, gotta see if this works
(I gotta have ya)
I gotta have ya, wake up in your t-shirt
(Wake up in your t-shirt, yeah)
I gotta have ya, diving in heart first
(Diving in heart first)
I gotta have ya
Yeah, I gotta have ya

YOURE DRUNK GO HOME
(Check, check)
(One, two, one, two, three)
(Hit it)
I bet you still live with your mama
Down in her basement, tryin' to be Nirvana
Playing with your guitar all afternoon, mm
You got the kinda face where it mighta been a maybe
But you got a lot to learn 'bout flirtin' with a lady
I'm down to talk dirty, but you started talking dirty too soon
You're drunk, go home
If you're trying to hook up
Gotta do it alone
The way you're slurring and the way you stumble
Ain't no way you're gonna get my number
Hey, walk away, so me and my girls can do our thing
I ain't looking for a one night rodeo
You're drunk (uh oh), go home
I think they mighta overserved you George Dickel
Now your friends are all gone, got yourself in a pickle
This bar'll run dry 'fore I let you split a ride with me, baby
Yeah, I know you're a Virgo, that's the third time you told me
Just 'cause I am too doesn't mean that you know me
You're just a dog and barking up the wrong damn tree
You're drunk, go home (go home)
If you're trying to hook up
Gotta do it alone
The way you're slurring and the way you stumble
Ain't no way you're gonna get my number
Hey, walk away (walk away), so me and my girls can do our thing
I ain't looking for a one-night rodeo
You're drunk (yup), go home
(Woo, alright)
(Play some country music boys)
(Ah ha)
You're drunk, go home (bye)
Any other night I might throw you a bone
But the way you're slurring and the way you stumble
Ain't no way you're gonna get my number
Hey, walk away (walk away), so me and my girls can do our thing (do our thing)
I ain't looking for a one night rodeo
(Oh no) (nope)
You ain't nothin' but a dive bar Romeo
You're drunk (mmhm), go home

DOIN MY BEST
2020 was a weird year
Album dropped at a weird time
Ain't the homecoming queen, but better believe I cried
And therapy for one turned
Into therapy for two
When you get married that young, you got a lotta shit you gotta get through
If I said I had it all together, I'd be lyin'
But I'll die tryin'
I'm doin' my best
I'm lettin' the rest roll off my shoulders, baby
Don't always get it right
Hey, and that's alright
That's what I'm learnin' lately, I
Keep growin' up, I
Keep rollin' up my sleeves and I think
That showin' up is good enough for me
I was friends with a pop star
I put 'em on track four, but
Wish I could take it back, I woulda never asked
If I knew we wouldn't talk anymore
Sometimes I try to say the right thing
And it comes out wrong
And Twitter kicked my ass, now it's one less app on my iPhone
Yeah, if I said I had it all together, I'd be lyin'
Yeah, but I'll die tryin'
I'm doin' my best
I'm lettin' the rest roll off my shoulders, baby
Don't always get it right
Hey, and that's alright
That's what I'm learnin' lately, I
Keep growin' up, I
Keep rollin' up my sleeves and I think
That showin' up is good enough for me
I live in my head 'til the sun's up
Even I can admit that it's f*ck up
And you're pushing for perfect your whole life
And it didn't work out
But, dammit, I tried
I'm doin' my best
I'm lettin' the rest roll off my shoulders, baby
Don't always get it right (I'm doin' my)
And that's alright (I'm doin' my best)
That's what I'm learnin' lately, I (I'm doin' my)
Keep growin' up, I (I'm doin' my best)
Keep rollin' up my sleeves and I think (I'm doin' my)
That showin' up is good enough for me (I'm doin' my best)
(I'm doin' my)

MARILYN
Must be nice to be so nice and beautiful
Hang the stars in the eyes of everybody
Got your name up in lights and in every home
But were you still alone at the party?
Everybody wanted to see you
Lips red, eyes blue
And everybody wanted to be you, yeah
Was it worth it to seem so perfect?
Blonde and curves didn't keep you from your skeletons
Was it lonely, show pony?
Did you miss Norma Jeane?
Or did you always wanna be Marilyn?
Marilyn
Once you got through the doors was it glamorous?
Or did you think you'd feel more fulfilled? Mm
'Cause I can see how it seemed
Through an LA silver screen
But I can also see how it'd drive me to pills
So, was it worth it to seem so perfect?
Blonde and curves didn't keep you from your skeletons
Was it lonely, show pony?
Did you miss Norma Jeane?
Or did you always wanna be Marilyn?
Oh, Marilyn
Everybody wanted to see you
Lips red, eyes blue
And everybody wanted to know you
In every room
Was the way that everyone loved you
A feeling you outgrew?
'Cause everybody wanted to be you
But did you? Mm
Was it worth it to seem so perfect?
Blonde and curves didn't keep you from your skeletons
Was it lonely, show pony?
Did you miss Norma Jeane?
The woman underneath
Or did you always wanna be Marilyn?
Oh, Marilyn

WHAT I HAVE
My neighbor's grass is the hit of the street
But that don't mean mine ain't just as green
I've been comparing shiny new toys
It's just the root of the thief of my joy
I know, that's just the pony show
'Cause I got a roof over my head
I got a warm body in bed
I'm doing alright right where I'm at
With what I have
I bought the shoes where the bottom is red
But who the hell am I tryin' to impress?
When you sit back, that's when you notice
The Joneses can't even keep up with the Joneses
I know, don't gotta shine to be gold
'Cause I got a roof over my head
I got a warm body in bed
I'm doing alright right where I'm at
With what I have
I got a Jeep, I got a dog
I got what they call a dream job
Plenty to want, nothing wrong with that
But I'm happy with what I have
Mm, ooh
I got the air, good eyes to see
Got so much more than I'll ever need
Even the bad days ain't all that bad
With what I have
I'm doing alright right where I'm at
With what I have
