"Change Your Mind" by Keith Urban is a song about reflecting on a past relationship and longing to rekindle it. The song explores the feelings of regret and the desire to change in order to win back the love of someone who has moved on. The lyrics depict the narrator being in Brooklyn, thinking about what could have been if their relationship had not ended. They wonder about the current city the other person is in and contemplate reaching out to them. However, despite wanting to call, they also acknowledge missing the old version of their former partner. The narrator acknowledges that they were the problem in the relationship, self-sabotaging and not making necessary changes. The other person had no choice but to leave when they needed to, and the narrator couldn't stop it. They mention the struggle to reach out and communicate with them, as they can never seem to get through. The song confesses a realization of emotional distance and neglect in the relationship. The narrator admits to taking their partner for granted, not listening to their concerns, and failing to show commitment. They express a desire to go back in time and fix the small issues before they grew into significant problems. However, now it seems too late. The chorus describes the changes the other person has made since the breakup. They have changed their appearance, their friends, and their contact information. The narrator wonders if it is too late to try and make amends. They question if changing themselves would convince the other person to change their mind and give the relationship another chance. The song concludes with the narrator pondering if the other person is intentionally trying to forget about them. They express doubts about the authenticity of the changes in the other person's life. Despite this, they still feel that they know the other person well enough to sense that they might miss them too. Overall, "Change Your Mind" explores the theme of regret, self-reflection, and the hope for reconciliation in a past relationship.
