Something Changed

By Jarvis Cocker (2019)
On album Cactus Flower (2019)

Cactus Flower
[Verse 1]
I wrote this song two hours before we met
I didn't know your name or what you looked like yet
Oh, I could have stayed at home and gone to bed
I could have gone to see a film instead
You might have changed your mind and seen your friend
Life could have been very different but then
Something changed

[Verse 2]
Do you believe that there's someone up above?
And does he have a timetable directing acts of love?
Why did I write this song on that one day?
Why did you touch my hand and softly say
"Stop asking questions that don't matter anyway
Just give us a kiss to celebrate here today"
Something changed

[Verse 3]
And when we woke up that morning we had no way of knowing
That in a matter of hours we'd change the way we were going
Where would I be now
Where would I be now if we'd never met
Would I be singing this song to someone else instead
I don't know, but like you just said:
Something changed
