Everything Changes

The speaker describes becoming a mother as a sudden change in identity. Before the baby arrives, her life feels uncertain and scattered; afterward, she feels responsible for someone new and discovers a stronger sense of purpose. The emotion moves from surprise and vulnerability toward love, hope, and belief that life can improve.

Several images show how deeply she feels this change. The baby’s “two tiny hands” and eyes make the new life feel real and precious. Saying she would “hang the moon” is an exaggerated way of expressing her wish to protect and care for her child. Her “blurry lines” coming “into focus” suggests that her priorities and direction have become clearer. The idea that her heart is “at the wheel” also implies that love, rather than uncertainty, is now guiding her choices.

The lyrics present motherhood as both a change in the speaker’s identity and a fresh beginning for both parent and child. “We were both born today” can mean that, although only the baby is physically new, the speaker also feels newly transformed. Her claim that past mistakes now make sense may express comfort and renewed hope, not proof that every hardship had a necessary purpose. The repeated belief that everything changes is uplifting, while leaving open how lasting or complete this transformation will feel.
