I wrote this song after I had recently taken a new job a few years ago. I remember thinking at the time that if I could just earn a little bit more money then life would be perfect. I took a new job that came with a big pay rise, but I soon found out that it wasn't everything it was cracked up to be. I then wrote this song about all the times in our lives where we think that, if just one little thing could change, we could be happy, only to find out that that thing doesn't make you happy.
lyrics
One more change and I’ll be just fine
One more piece for some peace of mind
I’ll find what I need and then I can rest
I’ll get what I’m looking for and give it my best
And on and on this cycle goes
Just where it ends, heaven only knows.
When I was a boy, I thought I’d find me a girl
We’d fall in love and she’d be my world
But love can’t fill a hole like the one in my heart
No matter what I tried, I’d end up back at the start
Always falling short of whole
Never feeling in control
Feeling like I cannot win
Waiting for my life to begin
Always just beyond the grasp
I don’t think that it’s much to ask but I
Oh I always find,
I’m step behind
Running round in circles and I’m chasing my tail,
How can I keep on moving when I’m setup to fail?
I find myself climbing over every hill
To find myself a greener space to feel fulfilled
But all the grass is dead and dry
And all the stories are only lies.
One more change and I’ll be just fine
I hear myself saying it every time
Will nothing come along to make me complete
Or am I just living life on repeat?
But what the hell am I supposed to do
When nothing else will see me through?
I’m searching on and on
One fleeting glimpse and then it’s gone
I search for what is mine
But I always find
