New Ways
Exploring Longing Through Unfamiliar Paths
Lyrics
I always think the same thing
I consistently have the same thoughts
In the second fall of snow
Referring to the second occurrence of snowfall
This time of season brings the brakes in
This time of year brings emotional pauses or disruptions
And your name comes up more
Your name comes to mind more frequently
See I can't seem to tune out
I am unable to ignore or avoid
A version of the phrase
A version of the expression or sentiment
You loved you lost you lose now
Recalling love, loss, and the recurring pattern of losing
As it dooms better days
As it leads to better days
So I've been figuring
Engaged in the process of understanding
New ways to measure the miles
Searching for new methods to gauge distances or relationships
New ways to try and force a smile
Seeking new approaches to feign happiness
I keep on figuring
Continuously attempting to comprehend
New ways to phrase I ain't seen you in a while
Exploring fresh ways to express the absence of your presence
And I've been thinking
Contemplating
We said that it would work out
We previously agreed that our relationship would succeed
I try to keep my word
Committing to keep promises
When I'm holding tight to those vows
Clutching tightly to those commitments
Problems occur
Challenges arise
I'm poring through all the old news
Examining past events or information
I'm falling back where I fell
Regressing to a previous state of being
All for anything I could use
Willing to do anything that could be beneficial
To reintroduce myself
Intending to reintroduce myself
So I keep figuring
Continuing the process of understanding
New ways to measure the miles
Seeking innovative ways to evaluate distances or relationships
New ways to try and force a smile
Trying new methods to feign happiness
I keep on figuring
Persistently attempting to articulate the absence of your presence
New ways to phrase I ain't seen you in a while
Contemplating
I've been thinking
Reflecting
Have you been thinking
Are you contemplating?
'Cause I've been thinking
Because I am contemplating
I keep on thinking up
Continuously generating thoughts
New ways to measure the miles
Seeking new methods to gauge distances or relationships
New ways to try and force a smile
Trying new approaches to feign happiness
I keep on thinking up
Persistently generating thoughts
New ways to phrase I ain't seen you in a while
Continuously exploring fresh ways to express the absence of your presence
New ways to phrase I ain't seen you
-New ways to phrase i aint seen you in a while
-And I've been thinking
Contemplating
