Changing All The Time

The speaker describes a relationship strained by the other person’s uncertainty. That person has seen someone from their past, and the speaker suspects this encounter has stirred old feelings. The speaker feels hurt and frustrated: they do not want to be chosen only for a night, or kept close while their partner remains unsure. As the song develops, hope gives way to resignation. The speaker says they have tried everything, but cannot reach the other person or persuade them to decide what they want.

A “glimpse” of someone once known suggests a brief sighting that brings the past back into the present. The idea of taking someone else’s “place” points to comparison: the speaker may feel unable to replace a previous love. “I can’t read your mind” is a common expression meaning that the speaker cannot know what the partner truly feels or hopes for. The repeated image of thoughts “changing all the time” presents love not as steady commitment, but as something shifting and difficult to trust.

The lyrics leave some details uncertain. We do not know exactly who the other person from the past is, or what the partner wants from either relationship. The speaker may be asking for a clear commitment, but their words also carry the pain of feeling like a second choice. Their frustration sounds strong, yet the repeated return to the problem suggests they still care and have not fully let go.
