Don't Change Your Plans

(album: The Best Imitation Of Myself: A Retrospective - 2011)

Sometimes I get the feeling
That I won't be on this planet for very long
I really like it here
I'm quite attached to it, I hope I'm wrong

All I really wanna say
You're the reason I wanna stay
I loved you 'fore I met you
And I met you just in time
'Cause there was nothing left

I sat here on my suitcase
In our empty new apartment 'til the sun went down
Then I walked back down the stairs
With all my bags and drove away
You must be freaking out

All I know is I gotta be
Where my heart says I oughta be
It often makes no sense, in fact
I never understand these things I feel

Don't change your plans for me
I won't move to L.A
The leaves are falling back east
That's where I'm gonna stay

You have made me smile again
In fact, I might be sore from it
It's been a while
I know we've been together many times before
I'll see you on the other side

But don't change your plans for me
I won't move to L.A
The leaves are falling back east
That's where I'm gonna stay

All I really wanna say
Is you're the reason I wanna stay
But destiny is calling and won't hold
And when my time is up I'm outta here

All I know is I've gotta be
Where my heart says I oughta be
It often makes no sense, in fact
I never understand these things
I feel

I love you, goodbye
I love you, goodbye
