The New Kid

(album: One Sided - 2023)

Friendship bracelets
There will be a million replacements
For when I have to leave

Childhood bedrooms
Turn around and it's too soon
It's packed up in a Subaru

The older you get
You're still the new kid
Placing your bets
Knowing you'll lose some
But everything starts
When you think it'll end
Over and over and over again

Protecting all of my peace
'Til I have no one left to leave me
Am I lonely or am I free?

The older you get
You're still the new kid
Placing your bets
Knowing you'll lose some
But everything starts
When you think it'll end
Over and over and over again

The older you get
You're still the new kid
You'll never forget
Why you chose to be quiet
'Cause everything starts
When you think it'll end
Your parents and dogs
And your very best friendship
