New Love Lyrics

We had no business doing what we did
i was defacing buildings like a latchkey kid
we were fed up and busy on the losing bid
it was cheap and easy
but now i understand this common place
we have no point of entry, no protected space
but we stumbled in love
oh, it's a losing race
it was deep, believe me

but then i see you run
and with a brilliant stead
you got a fighter's lines
you got a lion's share
over touch and groan
oh listen, i don't care
i never pictured you
i never placed you there but,

i know that you're in love with her
i can tell by the way you never touch her or look at her
i know that you're in love with her
i can tell by the way you never touch her or look at her
and you get in all kinds of interests
oh, oh and you get in all kinds of deep regret

oh, you come in first and it's so bittersweet
relax, you have no ways to bore your tired feet
you had a piece of cheating
it's not all you eat
it's just, it's half of winning
and i swear, i'd argue patience off a dying man
i would parade my virtues over open land
but i'd relax if only i could have what you have
but i can't make new love
i'd take one hundred years to make a calm reserve
then i'd scrape these wires over open nerve
do we fall out basking in the glow of harm?
i remember trusting you with open arms but,

i know that you're in love with her
i can tell by the way you never touch her or look at her
i know that you're in love with her
i can tell by the way you never touch her or look at her
and you get in all kinds of interests
oh, oh and you get in all kinds of deep regret

from the silent beating of the autumn night
caught a piece of memory and i gripped it tight
and it's just my luck, oh yeah it's just my luck you hang around
but then i felt it twist in little legs and feet
from a chrysalis, i got a tiny piece
and i let it go and now it's just my love that hangs around

and there's a ray of hope
you know, i'm sick of hate
i'm sick of losing sleep
i'm sick of sleeping late
when i tell myself that that's a loser's fate
i expose this life for all that i am:
some jealous kid who would do the same if i believed in love
i don't believe in love
i don't believe in love
but you believe in love 'cause,

i know that you're in love with her
i can tell by the way you never touch her or look at her
i know that you're in love with her
i can tell by the way you never touch her or look at her
and you get in all kinds of interests
oh, oh and you get in all kinds of deep regret

oh, oh
i'll make a promise to be different in the future
when you undress your love
it's not your fault
it's human nature
it's a shame
