The New Isn't So You Anymore

(album: This (Is What I Wanted To Tell You) - 2019)

Ooh, I'm back on my correction
Searching for a news in a newspaper
I've been riding for an hour
I just wish they were more creative
It's a self-imposed position

There's been drinking in the Safeway
Be it so un-presidential
Oh, I've got many reasons
To shut down the planet for a while

Michael Jackson just informed me
That Santa Claus is coming to town
Perhaps so hard to be good
But the days are just that many

Let's start again like stupid children
Sir, I'm afraid that's not possible
Just in case you need reminding
The new isn't so you anymore

I'm lifted to experience
You are carried by conversations
If we get out of our conviction
There's still time to make the move

Oh, and I can see the rooftops
Of the people I grew up with
It's just observation
Against the breeze

I'm not living in slow motion
I'm breathing actual air
Sorry, dude, that just kind of slipped out
The new isn't so you anymore
