The New Kid

Friendship bracelets
There will be a million replacements
For when I have to leave
Childhood bedrooms
Turn around and it's too soon
It's packed up in a Subaru

The older you get, you're still the new kid
Placing your bets knowing you'll lose some
But everything starts when you think it'll end
Over and over and over again

'Tecting all of my peace
Till I have no one left to leave me
Am I lonely or am I free?

The older you get, you're still the new kid
Placing your bets knowing you'll lose some
But everything starts when you think it'll end
Over and over and over again
The older you get, you're still the new kid
You'll never forget why you chose to be quiet
'Cause everything starts when you think it'll end
Your parents, your dogs and your very best friend
