lyrics

I want to be new

I just want to move my body and shake my head
turn corners over quickly and forget what I’ve said
I want to be new
I get confused when I stare at the back of stranger’s head
I start thinking that I’m becoming them
& I want to be new

oh when you tell me theres only this moment
I’m stuck wondering
“what the hell was that before?”

I’m hardly ever reminiscing on our bliss
just the brisk tea you spit between my lips
I want to be new
no, no, no,
I won’t pay for your groceries
I won’t pay for your sweet tooth
hell, it feels like a robbery
when I can’t pay for your cold too

I want to be new
I want to be new
I want nothing to do with you
I want to be new

oh when you tell me the time
you know that I'm glad that it's passing
right by my eyes

went further in when I couldn’t get out
I spent my money and you
stole my money and my weed
and then you said it was from you
oh that’s just so cute

but I won’t pay for you to lose your mind again
no I won’t pay for your mushrooms
hell, it feels like a robbery
when “no” doesn’t mean a thing to you

I want to be new
I want to be new
I want nothing to do with you
I want to be new

and when you tell me theres only this moment
I’m stuck wondering
“what the hell was that before?”
