Description
This song came to me in the car one day, after thinking about my brother shooting targets in his archery club in school. I don’t know how I made the connection, but somehow it struck me that archery is very similar to driving; if you don’t look where you’re going, you are going to miss your target. Sometimes I think that the best thought processes are the simplest ones–some things change when you look away. I hope that this song encourages others to avoid texting, or even glancing at their phones as they drive. In some cases, like shooting a bullseye or making a basket, the consequences of looking away are minimal–you miss your target. But when you text and drive, there’s no guarantee of a second chance.
Some Things Change
Jessie Morgan
Verse 1
You won’t hit a bullseye
if you don’t look at the target
Or play violin
without looking at the sheet
You can’t watch TV
if you’re staring outside
You wouldn’t close your eyes
on a longboard ride
Verse 2
You couldn’t do your makeup
without looking in the mirror
You wouldn’t make the winning shot
if you face the other way
You can’t read a book
without looking at the page
Some things change
when you look away
Chorus
Oh–
Sing with me
If you know what I mean
You can’t drive if you’re looking at a screen
Keep the phone on Silent Mode
your eyes On The Road
Some things change when you look away…
