Nothing New

I've seen it all before, I know how it goes
I know those, those type of words that just burn your throat
But it seemed so damn far before, thought it'd never come
Until it stood at my door, and hit me in the gut

So you pretend to grow up
Until you actually do
And those places you never thought you'd leave
Just fade away from you. Oh, it's nothing new
Oh, it's nothing new

Everyone moves away. We push ourselves far
From the corners that we grew up in. We try to find a part
Of this world we painted for ourselves, back when we were young
But we painted by numbers then, now the colors, they run

So you pretend to grow up
Until you actually do
And an old friend asks you
What you've been up to
And you say "oh, nothing new," oh it's nothing new
Oh it's nothing new

So you stand in the corner
As your drink falls flat
And you keep on forgetting
To call your mother back
And that story you've been writing in your head
Is just that

So you pretend to grow up
Until you actually do
And you really thought you'd be someone
But everybody always does
Everybody always does
Everybody always does
Oh it's nothing new
