Lyrics

A New Me

There were flowers on the table
And a fire in the yard
Where they buried the lobsters
As we said our vows
And you were holding me from behind
And holding back tears
Cause Jennifer was singing my song

Chorus
But I really can't remember anything
But the way you were all I could see
And now ever since then
Because of you
I'm a new me

After midnight, Christmas day
I couldn't sleep from all I ate
Cause I was fat anyway
Then my water broke
They sent us home
It wasn't time yet and 31 hours later
Too tired to hold you
Your eyes blinking up at me
Wide and slow

Chorus
But I really can't remember anything
But the way you were all I could see
And now ever since then
Because of you
I'm a new me

Then it's Christmas, five years later
And I wonder if my heart
Like the Grinch's could still get bigger
And not break me apart
Then 2 weeks later
In the morning you came staring into the world
A brand new person, a brand new version of me is also born [of myself as well]
