A Change of Heart
The swirling complexities of what it means to find a soulmate are explored in A Change of Heart. On the surface the lyrics seem to hint at falling out of love, but the true meaning is a reference to Jack's close relationships with his female friends; a playful expression of what might have been if he wasn’t gay. Musically, a 12/8 time signature creates a rolling, upbeat rhythm and chopped vocals are dreamy over a filtered instrumental bridge. The triplet drum groove and electric guitar solo from Martin Abbott give this big pop production a bluesy undertone that is rich with longing.

Lyrics
People say that we're soulmates
And I think that's true
There's no one like me and you
Cause no one laughs like we do
No one talks like we do
No one does like we do
There's no one like me and you
So if I ever have a change of heart
You'll be the first one I call
I'll be calling your name
If I ever have a change of heart
I'll be coming right back to
Running right back to you
People say that we're crazy
Have a different view
Cause no one understands me
The way that you do
Cause no one cares like you do (Like you do)
No one knows like you do
No one hurts like we do (Like we do)
There's no one like you
So if I ever have a change of heart (Ever have a change of heart)
You'll be the first one I call
I'll be calling your name
If I ever have a change of heart (Ever have a change of heart)
I'll be coming right back to
Running right back to you
Ever have a change of heart
Ever have a change of heart
I'll be coming right back to
Running right back to you
So if I ever have a change of heart (Ever have a change of heart)
You'll be the first one I call
I'll be calling your name
If I ever have a change of heart (Ever have a change of heart)
I'll be coming right back to
Running right back to you
(Ever have a change of heart)
You'll be the first one I call
I'll be calling your name
If I ever have a change of heart (Ever have a change of heart)
I'll be coming right back to
Running right back to you
