New Eden

It's a winding road to Eden

And it was breakneck at the start

Falling way too fast for reason

You got whisking me away down to an art

We both knew what we were doing

When you walked me home that night

And I knew that by agreeing

That you'd be there on the worst day of my life

Before we'd barely shared a bed or had a fight

The road ahead bent sharply out of sight

Look there, it's small, the garden wall

Is rising in the distance with the sun

It's a waiting game, it's the greatest pain

It's a pretty fucked up time to fall in love

But New Eden doesn't wait for anyone

I kind of hate myself for living

The heartbreak wrestles joy until it hurts

We thought it might help for you to meet him

But watching you two laugh just made it worse

And it's a special kind of torture

You like to make me laugh until I cry

But it's really hard to plan a future

When someone else is losing theirs at the same time

The same door beckons death that summons life

Look there, it's small, the garden wall

Is rising in the distance with the sun

It's a waiting game, it's the greatest pain

It's a pretty fucked up time to fall in love

But New Eden doesn't wait for anyone

I know we'll get there when we're ready

I know it like the freckles on your face

And when the pain comes you'll protect me

You're expert now at keeping it at bay

This David fights Goliath every day

Look there, it's small, the garden wall

Is rising in the distance with the sun

It's a waiting game, it's the greatest pain

It's a pretty fucked up time to fall in love

But New Eden doesn't wait for anyone

New Eden doesn't care if you weren't done

New Eden just says trust your feet and run

The antidote to death, my dear, is love

New Eden doesn't wait for anyone
