New Words

Listen to this old guitar …
It’s always been there for me, and we’ve come so far
An old friend that knows me better than I know myself
And no matter how bad I sometimes play, it stays loyal to me
Patiently waiting until I finally find the right words

Something new. Something true … 
Some idea that has never been spoken
To try to express this feeling I have when thinking about you
Cause I’m looking for the perfect words to explain … 
This love I have … this feeling
That will never come again in my life

Well this old guitar has never let me down
But despite this … well I’ve never found the words
I just know I can’t stop tryin’

Old friend … don’t let me down … until I have found … 
New words to celebrate this love
They’re right on the tip of my tongue … 
But before these words will ever get sung
I’ll already be looking for … 
New words

What can I do? New words for you … new words for us
To paint a thousand pictures in just one word
What can I say? Inspired every day and in every possible way
Seems my heart just can’t rest … until I have found the best

Words … to explain how you changed my life
And how you’ve become the music that moves me


Well this old guitar has never let me down
But despite this … well I’ve never found the words
To match your inspiration

Old friend … don’t let me down … until I have found … 
New words never said before
They’re right on the tip of my tongue … 
But before the words can ever be sung
I’m already searching for
New words

Well this old guitar is gonna lead the way
Until I find those words to say to you
Well until then … I’ll just try to show you

Old friend … don’t let me down … until I have found … 
Those words that mean everything
They’re right on the tip of my tongue … 
But before those words will ever get sung
I’m always going to find …
