New Normal

I guess forever didn't mean what I thought at 18

18 is a long way off the blueprints

That we spent every night drawing up

Well, they didn't go to plan

You called it off after a trip 'round the sun

Now looking for apartments isn't all that fun

It's so much more expensive when you're looking for one

Oh, this wasn't quite the plan

I'm still tryna understand

I am lying awake

In a bed that I'm a little too small for

'Cause when you held me, you'd say

"I promise that you're the only one that I'll fall for"

Now I'm making all new friends who don't even know your name

Once a year I hear from you to say a happy birthday

But it's so formal

I guess that's our new normal

Now my dirty Air Force 1's are just shoes

They sit by the door, casually remind me of you

Took my heart to California through all of '22

And you never gave it back

I'm still tryna understand

Why I'm lying awake

In a bed that I'm a little too small for

'Cause when you held me, you'd say

"I promise that you're the only one that I'll fall for"

Now I'm making all new friends who don't even know your name

Once a year I hear from you to say a happy birthday

But it's so formal

I guess that

Now we'll never go back to the start and

We'll live with the hardened heart and

No more holding hands in the park

No, we'll never go back

No, we'll never go back to

Their hometown, our first date in King Street

Where you said you'd love me completely

Now you're just a part of my history

We'll never go back to

Lying awake

In a bed that I'm a little too small for

'Cause when you held me, you'd say

"I promise that you're the only one that I'll fall for"

Now I'm making all new friends who don't even know your name

Once a year I hear from you to say a happy birthday

But it's so formal

I guess that's our new normal
