Lyrics
Something New
I'm running out, I'm out of touch,
I'd cross the sky, but the sky knows too much,
As a rule, I need something new.
I'm breaking ground, Playing hide and seek,
Gone lost and found, yeah, One day in Rabbit Creek,
Over there, you can always find something new,
And I'll be the runaway,
While the world turns the other way,
Don't know if I can see it through,
It's just something that I know that I have to do.
I'm writing words, with words I pray,
I pray for love, I love a New Year's Day,
Ah, maybe then I'll be something new.
And I'll be the runaway,
While the world turns the other way,
Don't know if I can see it through,
It's just something that I know that I have to do.
With open arms that never stop,
Leaves start to fall,
A fall from a mountaintop,
As a rule I need something new.
