Brand New
J.T. Taylor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes I want to call you up say I'm doin better
I know I haven't talked this month
I love you, but sometimes you suck
If I were drunk I'd call you up and tell you that I'm better
I notice when you move on it never takes to long
It's faster than your response, maybe next time I'll learn
Until then It's my turn to shut out, walk around acting like I'm brand new, brand new
This got me up, this got me up at night
And I don't need an answer
I already know how, how you let go easily
How you let me down
Sometimes I wanna call you up say I'm doin better
Sometimes I wanna call you up say I'm doin better
Until then It's my turn to shut out, walk around actin like I'm brand new, brand new
Until then It's my turn to shut out walk around actin like I'm brand new, brand new
How did you make it out? Tell me are you alright?
This got me up, this got me up at night
