Brand New Mood
Lava Baby Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every day is a different feeling
Another way that I'm perceiving you
This feeling's brand new
And if I say you should be leaving
Another day I might be needing you
It's a brand new mood
Back and forth between my mind
Nasty words, they happen

So it seems I can't go on with you
Do what you want and hope it's right
But don't look back, it happens
You'll never know what lies ahead of you
Last week, and I can't remember
Why it was that I've been hating you
This feeling's brand new
All is well, I must be dreaming

Another day, and I can't explain this mood
It's a brand new mood

Line by Line Meaning

Every day is a different feeling
Each day I feel a different way

Another way that I'm perceiving you
I view you differently each day

This feeling's brand new
I've never felt like this before

And if I say you should be leaving
Sometimes I feel like you should go

Another day I might be needing you
But on other days I need you around

It's a brand new mood
My mood changes frequently

Back and forth between my mind
I can't make up my mind

Nasty words, they happen
Sometimes we argue

So it seems I can't go on with you
Sometimes I feel like we should break up

Do what you want and hope it's right
Just do what you think is best

But don't look back, it happens
Don't dwell on the past
