Good start on this one :D I like the references to the rain and leaves and then looking under the leaves and "as a boy in a man's world" line

....and Nick's suggestion reminds me of the "Butterfly Effect".....every change in the past makes the present and future worse than if it was left untouched.

Thanks for sharing.

What if you changed the last line to ask the central question in the conflict?


Would I rip the world in two
Would I cross the line
Would we like what we find
If I realigned my mind

If you think about the conflict in Landslide, I'm changing, but if I do change will you still love me or should I repress who I have become knowing that you won't leave, that should work.

This is just off the top of my head, but it would show the alternative choice in your song

And if I changed the world
and if I made you mine
the dream becomes a nightmare
what horrors would I find?

What is the conflict this is based on?

1
could have learned some things
That you were harbering
Could have been a diamond ring
To a short little freshman.

Wouldn't take so long
For me to come along
Wish I could have wrote this song
As a short little freshman

2
I know ideas were there
but I was drowning in the air
to wrestle that would be a bear
trying to keep my mind off her

still I wish I could explain
all the things yet to change
could have gone and enjoyed the rain
if I kept my mind off her

3
Adolescent priorities
obscuring what could be
rake away like autumn leaves
as a boy in a man's world

I guess that it's just meant to be
still it's hard not to perceive
what was underneath the leaves
as a boy in a man's world

Chorus:

 

I want to change just a few

little nagging things

that eat me up

in my brain

 

won't you let me take a trip

to another time

Realign
