New Friend

Verse 1

I kept the same old seat

Hoping someone would show

The regulars changed their names

And the door felt far too slow

Two years I learned the quiet

Two years I made it mine

Pre-Chorus

Then you asked about my jacket

Then you laughed at my reply

Something simple something kind

Chorus

New friend standing in the grey light

New friend telling me your name

New friend I don't have to explain to

You were never mine to lose the same

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Verse 2

I used to count the exits

Now I count the minutes left

You said the coffee here is bitter

I said that's the best part yet

We split a cheap umbrella

We walked a longer way

Pre-Chorus

And I noticed how the rain stopped

And I noticed I could stay

Chorus

New friend standing in the grey light

New friend telling me your name

New friend I don't have to explain to

You were never mine to lose the same

Bridge

I don't need to bury anyone

I don't need to make it even

Some rooms just close behind you

Some doors open without reason

Chorus

New friend standing in the grey light

New friend telling me your name

New friend I don't have to explain to

You were never mine to lose the same

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

New friend

New friend
