I Need New Memories

I need new memories
To push those old ones out of the way
So my mind can finally go out and play
I need new memories

I need new memories
Not those where there's nothing left to say
They've outwelcomed their presumptuous stay
I need new memories

Not strolling through a Charleston street
Not syncing with your quiet heart beat
I need new memories
Oh the memories

We need new memories
New leaves on a dormant tree
So our thoughts can finally dance free
We need new memories
Not aching through the shame all day
Nor floating through the same old gray
Books that have never been read
And truths that have never been said.
We need new memories

Oh the memories
All new love and all new pain
And all new tears to wash my brain
New sand and dirt on a brand new shirt
An open face I've yet to hurt

Good bits that start a really long run
A fawn that feels her first sun
To sing I'm a new flag unfurled
To hear I'm a gift to the world
I need new memories
