Lyrics Just the Same But Brand New - St. Vincent

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
I’m 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
