New Place
Echoes of Unfilled Spaces: Cameron Brosius' 'New Place' Reflections
Lyrics
You sent your favorite album 6 months ago
You shared your favorite album with me six months ago
And like the friend I am, I still haven't listened to it
Despite being a good friend, I haven't taken the time to listen to it yet
Read your favorite book, and I didn't get it
I read your favorite book but didn't understand or connect with it
Guess I'll never be a writer huh
Expressing self-doubt about becoming a writer
I hate the way my new place looks
I dislike the appearance of my new living space
I hate the feeling of an empty house
I feel uncomfortable in the empty house
Stare at the space on my walls as I think
Reflecting on memories while staring at the empty walls
About the time I fell asleep on your couch
Recalling a specific memory of falling asleep on your couch
I want to fall asleep-
Expressing a desire to fall asleep
You came over and kept your shoes on
You visited, but you kept your shoes on, creating a sense of discomfort
The unfamiliarity burns in my stomach
Feeling uneasy due to the unfamiliarity of the situation
You were the first friend who told me they loved me
You were the first friend who expressed love towards me
I'm anxious and my room is cold
Experiencing anxiety in a cold room
I hate the way my new place looks
Reiteration of dissatisfaction with the new living space
I hate the feeling of an empty house
Disliking the feeling of an empty house, repeating the sentiment
Stare at the space on my walls as I think
Reflecting on memories while staring at the empty walls, repetition of line 7
About the time I fell asleep on your couch
Recalling the specific memory of falling asleep on your couch, repetition of line 8
I want to fall asleep-
Expressing a desire to fall asleep, repetition of line 9
I hate the way my new place looks
Reiteration of dissatisfaction with the new living space, repetition of line 14
I hate the feeling of an empty house
Repeating the dislike for the feeling of an empty house, repetition of line 15
Stare at the space on my walls as I think
Reflecting on memories while staring at the empty walls, repetition of line 16
About the time I fell asleep on your couch
Recalling the specific memory of falling asleep on your couch, repetition of line 17
I want to fall asleep on your shoulder
Expressing a desire to fall asleep on your shoulder
