Novelty
I'm a novelty and my shine is wearing off
So you're bored with me; it's time to take me to the shop
It'd be much too expensive to pay for the repairs, so you leave me there
I can be another person's burden to bear
I've been worn down from overuse and lack of basic grace
And I used to feel essential until my voice began to change
Because I wasn't only aging, I was learning every day
That after every time you dropped me my voice never sounded quite the same
But look where I am today with so much to say and so few things to complain about
It's been hard for me
To believe I've done something important with my life
But she's helped me find new reasons to sing
I could tell you of the times I've been discarded in my life
And I'd lay there on the sidewalk missing everybody's eyes
Until finally I'd catch one, and go back to where I was
But I'm done with telling stories about
When I wasn't happy just because
Look where I am today with so much to say and so few things to complain about
It's been hard for me to believe I've done something important with my life
But she's helped me find new reasons to sing
Reasons to sing
Reasons to sing
I hope to be more than a novelty
And maybe mean a little more in the grand scheme of things
With a voice that sounds just right to her
Nothing to fix
Nothing to change
Just to be
Just her and me
I'm a novelty and my shine is wearing off
So you're bored with me; it's time to take me to the shop
It'd be much too expensive to pay for the repairs, so you leave me there
I can be another person's burden to bear
I've been worn down from overuse and lack of basic grace
And I used to feel essential until my voice began to change
Because I wasn't only aging, I was learning every day
That after every time you dropped me my voice never sounded quite the same
But look where I am today with so much to say and so few things to complain about
It's been hard for me
To believe I've done something important with my life
But she's helped me find new reasons to sing
I could tell you of the times I've been discarded in my life
And I'd lay there on the sidewalk missing everybody's eyes
Until finally I'd catch one, and go back to where I was
But I'm done with telling stories about
When I wasn't happy just because
Look where I am today with so much to say and so few things to complain about
It's been hard for me to believe I've done something important with my life
But she's helped me find new reasons to sing
Reasons to sing
Reasons to sing
I hope to be more than a novelty
And maybe mean a little more in the grand scheme of things
With a voice that sounds just right to her
Nothing to fix
Nothing to change
Just to be
Just her and me
I'm a novelty and my shine is wearing off
