I can change I can cut it open
Look at me the way you did before
I can change
diagnose the symptom
buy the antidote but not the cure

Hold me under
cut away this empty
Hold me under
change the way I feel about you

I can change
I'll correct the defect
repair the injury called you and me
I can change
I'll surrender to it
I can suffer with the best of them

Hold me under
cut away this empty
Hold me under
change the way I feel about you

I can't change
I'll replace the decay
make you second guess your everyday
I can't change
I'll survey the damage
Kill the narcissist with his reflection
until tomorrow

Hold me under
cut away this empty
Hold me under
change the way I feel about you

Hold me under
cut away this empty
Hold me under
change the way I feel about you

until tomorrow

    part of the reason why this is one of my favorite jack off jill songs, is because its not ever jack off jill "fan's" favorite song. all the people i know that "like" jack off jill only like the song my cat. its annoying.

    this song seems to me that shes trying to make the relationship perfect by fixing everything thats wrong in it,and shes saying she can change so everything will be better again but it doesnt work that way and she just keeps trying to fix everything.
