Liner Notes

Written on Tuesday February 11 while driving from Cleveland Ohio to Champaign Illinois. Sang the melody a capella into my phone. Now, I'm trying to harmonize it and I'm not sure that I have found the right chords, but this demo is a start.

This is definitely the kind of song that I wouldn't share if it weren't FAWM. Also, I'm not sure about this chorus. Like, maybe?

Lyrics

This is new
I never thought I'd hear I'm sorry from you
And all these years I needed to
This is new
We can just sit around the table now and talk
I can see you're not as able to walk as maybe you'd like to

We are older
Old enough to say "You shoulda seen us"
Old enough to have so much between us
Me and you
We are older
But I remember well being younger
I'm reminded every time I hear the thunder
I am older
We are older
And this is new

This is new
You need help and I'm the one you're coming to
Hand me the jar, I'll get it open for you
This is new
What happened to the rage and the anger?
"You just wait till your dad gets home" I knew the danger of you

We are older
Old enough to say "You shoulda seen us"
Old enough to have so much between us
Me and you
We are older
But I remember well being younger
I'm reminded every time I hear the thunder
I am older
We are older
And this is new

This is new
And walking's overrated anyhow
And talking's what we need to do right now
This is new
You're trying and I'm trying to
And that might be the best we do

We are older
Old enough to say "You shoulda seen us"
Old enough to have so much between us
Me and you
We are older
But I remember well being younger
I'm reminded every time I hear the thunder
I am older
You are older
I am older
We are older
And this is new
