Bob Schneider - Changing Your Mind

Copied!

What's so funny is nobody's laughing
At this change of heart your having

What's so funny is I'm filled up with thunder
I can't seem to get out from under all these stones
That you tied to my chest

I can't change your mind
And I can't change your mind

What's so funny is I'm scared and lonely
And I don't think I'm the only one
As I watch you drive away

And what's so funny is the birds are singing
The sun is shining and the bells are ringing
And I'm thinking, "What happened here?"

And I can't change your mind
And I can't change your mind
I can't change your mind
I can't change your mind

There's a chapel in Minneapolis
Holds the bones of a dead saint in it
And the stained glass glows from the ceiling there
It reminds me of the feeling when I first looked into your eyes
Saw the most beautiful birds fly straight into the sun
With their wings on fire and the deed was done

Oh, and I can't change your mind
I can't change your mind
I can't change your mind
I can't change your mind

What's so funny is this piece of skin
The one on my arm with your name inked in
What was I thinking?

What's so funny is the way things go down
Like when a star dies it doesn't make a sound
It's just gone
And you can't find it when you look into the sky

I can't change your mind
I can't change your mind
I can't change your
I can't change your mind
I can't change your mind
I can't change your mind
I can't do it

There's a werewolf out on my front lawn
And he's lookin' pissed off
And he's wet from all the rain
I think I'll go say hi
And offer him a beer

Biography

edit bio

“One of Austin’s most celebrated musicians, Bob Schneider has always excelled at bringing audiences back. Though he has received little national press or major label support, he has managed to become one of the biggest acts in Austin, if not in Texas. His fans, who often discover him from being brought to his shows by their friends, are fiercely loyal. Many have attended dozens or even hundreds of shows. Thanks to these fans, Schneider has won more Austin Music Awards than any other musician, including Best Songwriter, Best Musician, and Best Male Vocals, rounding in at 54 total awards to date.

In retrospect, it appears inevitable that Bob Schneider would become an artist. He was born in Michigan and raised in Germany, where his father pursued a career as a professional opera singer. As a boy, Schneider studied piano and guitar, often performing at family parties and backing his father on drums at nightclubs throughout his youth in Germany and Texas. He went on to study art – his other primary passion and avocation – at the University of Texas El Paso, before moving to Austin and establishing himself as a musician. He performs relentlessly, creates new music compulsively, writes poetry, and regularly shows his visual art in galleries around Austin, and has a solid reputation as one of the most versatile, inventive, and engaging songwriters working today.”
