Don't Change YOur Plans
"I was writing a much slower song, and it was the chorus. The instrumental part with the fluegelhorn was probably the only thing that we were really excited about when we left North Carolina. We'd been playing that together and it sounded finished and tight. There was a lot of editing going on in that song. It took a lot of turns and was a real evolution. There's a total Burt Bacharach rip-off section in it, fluegelhorns and the whole thing. I would admit it. It was just a tip of the hat to him."
-Ben
Sometimes I get the feeling
That I won't be on this planet for very long
I really like it here
I'm quite attached to it
I hope I'm wrong
All I really want to say
You're the reason I want to stay
I loved you before I met you
And I met you just in time
Because there was nothing left
I sat here on my suitcase
In our empty new apartment
'til the sun went down
And I walked back down the stairs
With all my bags and drove away
You must be freaking out
All I know is I got to be
Where my heart says I ought to be
It often makes no sense, in fact
I never understand these things I feel
Don't change your plans for me
I won't move to LA
The leaves are falling back east
That's where I'm going to stay
You have made me smile again
In fact I might be sore from it
It's been awhile
I know we've been together
Many times before
I'll see you on the other side
Don't change your plans for me
I won't move to LA
The leaves are falling back east
That's where I'm going to stay
All I really want to say
You're the reason I want to stay
But destiny is calling
And I told them when my time is up
I'm out of here
All I know is I got to be
Where my heart says I ought to be
It often makes no sense, in fact
I never understand these things I feel
I love you, good-bye
I love you, good-bye
