Song Description

This is a pop/modern rock tune about an unlikely couple that comes together--despite the odds and many differences--but can't defy gravity to keep it together. The singer states in the hook, "Look how far we?ve come from our inauspicious start," then asks, "Why the sudden change of heart?"

Lyrics

Sudden Change of Heart
© 2004 Michael Fritz

I?m so young, you?re too old; You?re too hot, I?m so cold
You jump into the deep end; And I?m afraid so I wade in
Look how far we?ve come from our inauspicious start
Why the sudden change of heart?

We?re cut from different fabric but the pattern?s just the same
We?ve both got checkered pasts but then we learned to play the game
But fate?s reversible and so you?ve taken my last name
I crossed your path, we crossed our hearts, but now it?s not the same

I?m so young, you?re too old; You?re too hot, I?m so cold
You jump into the deep end; And I?m afraid so I wade in
Look how far we?ve come from our inauspicious start
Why the sudden change of heart?

I saw the cinders smoldering underneath your feet
You talked of travel plans and I knew we had to meet
Your plans got complicated when you spilled your drink on me
You said I?m sorry, I said don?t worry, but I felt the heat

I?m so young, you?re too old; You?re too hot, I?m so cold
You jump into the deep end; And I?m afraid so I wade in
Look how far we?ve come from our inauspicious start
Why the sudden change of heart?
