lyrics

well, here it is, your perfect song
the one i tried to write a thousand times since you’ve been gone
oh, each time i got the words exactly right, i sounded wrong
i sounded wrong and pathetic
and there ain’t no rhyme or reason to what i feel for you
honey, i’ve been out here diggin' like i’ve got something to prove
but i threw away my shovel cuz i felt too much the tool
tell me, which fool ever found treasure where the ex is?

you're my new old flame
that's funny, i think of you and see a smolder in the rain
burnin’ in my brain
well it's all the reason more to pour champagne

well here you go, the unstruck chord
you don’t have to reply to some weird iphone recording
i’ve come around to seeing just how that can be controlling
i won’t twist your arm just to try and hold your hand
and they'll say everybody changes, but that's not really it
i think we get less scared of being who we've always been
but listen to me talking like you even give a shit
and i won''t even blame ya

you're my new old flame
that's funny, I think of you and see a smolder in the rain
burnin’ in my brain
well it's all the reason more to pour champagne

so this is it, a catchy tune
please don't make me say if that's the best that i can do
the girl i wrote it for ain't even who I'm talkin' to
no, i don't think she's real

you're my new old flame
that's funny, I think of you and see a smolder in the rain
burnin’ in my brain
well it's all the reason more to pour
well it's all the reason more to pour champagne
