Same Old Brand New Me

(album: Thrive - 2021)

My mom never changed my old bedroom
It's the same place, same posters on the wall
CD poetry by Blink 182
Making its way into my songs

Ran away from home had to hit the road
Put some miles on this heart and made it gold
Every exit sign was a reason why
I still believe in Rock N Roll

No matter where I go or where I've been
I know my soul beyond my skin
Wherever it takes me I know it won't break me
Cus I'll always be the same old brand new me

I been talking with my old tattoo
Doesn't speak to me what it used to say before
Yea we reminisce and we laugh about
How to forget a whole world tour

Life's happening, it's going so fast
When it's slowing down, you just want to make it last
Like the first taste of a first kiss
Once you lean in you can't look back

Whoa
Gonna keep my heart forever young
It ain't over even when it's done
On every trip around the sun
I'm always home

No matter where I go or where I've been
I know my soul beyond my skin
Wherever it takes me I know it won't break me
Cus I'll always be the same old brand new me
