Just the Same but Brand New

The people in the street had overtaken you

By the time you rounded Second Avenue

So I walked away

All perfumed

Felt just the same

But brand new

And anything you wrote I checked for codes and clues

The letters stopped unceremoniously in June

So I changed my I's

And A's to yours

I'm just the same

But brand new

And I do my best impression of weightlessness, now too

And I might be wrong, I might be wrong, I might be wrong

But honey I believed I could

Float away

Dangling

I'm just the same

But brand new to you
