I don’t talk about you like you’re new.
I used to gush about you
Couldn’t talk enough about you
Couldn’t get enough about you
All the things about you
That I loved
The way your hair curled just so
And your hands worked, like whoa
The way your eyes twinkled and I’d know
There was something there for me
Something special you’d show just me
A little private thing I’d see
If I just let you in
You hung on so tight
So much wrong that you made right
Yet I stopped talking about you like you’re new
I stopped noticing the things you do
That made me curl up into you
Life, it tidal waves around us
And I stopped reaching out for you
I just assume you’ll stay beside me
That you’ll remember the things inside me
That first made you want to light me
Up from inside out
But I can’t shake this secret doubt
That maybe I’m the one without
The courage to seek out
The riddle’s answer true
Why don’t I talk about you
Like you’re new?
