Brand New
He tries to teach me all he knows
No matter how exceedingly far he goes
Growing up in constant overdrive
Of all things great and small, dead or alive
Three ultimatums I get the pleasure to choose
Of guy sickness and ugly blues
Alone and scared for almost four years
Every time I check, it’s old me in shattered mirrors
Never anything new it’s always the same
People quick to point the finger at me for the blame
It’s her fault this, and it’s her fault that
Like I am in prison and I earned the label as a “rat”
When dreams come along with a brand new verse
He’s right there beside me, helping me to rehearse
I’m so open-minded yet always so closed
I wish I could line my emotions up from row to row
All of my emotions have to do with him alone
Just for knowing him, ten feet I’ve just grown
His hazel eyes never fail to turn my head
But still alone and cold I sleep in my bed
Four feet forward and six feet back
Like he’s always been there, but then fades to black
So, so, close yet so, so, far
Please come out wherever you are
I’m so blind to his state of mind
But just a month is really all of our waiting time
Different surroundings here I come
Be by my side, babe, please don’t let me run
Mommy and Dad aren’t going to be there forever, he’s right
Completely zoned out deep within my peaceful night
The choice I made I will intend to do
So, self, be 100% prepared for your brand new
