The people in the street had overtaken you

By the time you rounded second avenue

So I walked away all perfumed

I'm just the same but brand new



And anything you wrote I checked for codes and clues

The letters stopped unceremoniously in June

So I changed my I's and A's to yours

I'm just the same but brand new



And I do my best impression of weightlessness now too

And I might be wrong, I might be wrong, I might be wrong

But honey I believed I could

Float away dangling

I'm just the same but brand new to you
