So New
Cillian Murphy Lyrics

Strange beside the pond
Standing next to the pond, there was an eerie feeling in the air.

You look long and lovely
You have a charming and elegant presence that captured my attention.

Like I remember you
Your beauty reminds me of how I remember you from the past.

I was on my break
I was taking a break from my busy schedule.

You had time to spare
You had some extra time that you chose to spend with me.

And so we tried to ... talk
We attempted to engage in conversation with one another.

Or maybe just sit
Perhaps we didn't need words, and it was enough to just sit together.

Mmm-mmm
An expression of contemplation or reflection.

'Cause things look beautiful when they're away from you
Sometimes things appear more attractive when you are not in their presence.

Things look beautiful when they're so new
New things have a certain appeal that makes them seem more attractive.

And thinks look beautiful when they're away from you
Even your own thoughts can be seen as more beautiful when you have some distance from them.

They seem to stay away from you
Your thoughts and feelings may elude you when you try to understand them too closely.

The island boats was slow
The boats on the island moved at a leisurely pace.

We heard the Monkeys on the radio
We listened to music by The Monkeys on the radio.

The only song you know
Perhaps the only song we both recognized was the one playing on the radio.

I walked on for miles
I walked great distances, deep in thought.

You stood on heels
You were wearing high-heeled shoes and standing in the same spot.

I turned to wave to you
As I walked away, I waved goodbye to you.

And then you started to ... smile
You began to smile as I walked away from you.

But it was stolen away
Your smile disappeared as if it was taken away from you.

By some devil inside of you
The smile vanished due to some inner turmoil or inner conflict within yourself.

Am I lying to you still
I may still be misleading you or not telling you the whole truth.

I can't move
I am unable to take action or make a decision.

I miss you so much
I am overwhelmed with feelings of longing and nostalgia for you.

I was trying to fix this loss
I was attempting to repair the damage caused by our separation.

I've given up
I no longer have the energy or willpower to fix what has been broken.

I just stand and look at her
I simply observe a woman, lost in thought and contemplation.
