Lyrics

Novelty Song

Wanted to be a lover

Wanted to love another

Wanted to let my guard down

Wanted to grow a garden

The sun, the rain

It's all the same

I came too far to go

Feeling relaxed and leaning

Gave up the search for meaning

Wrote up a song, a dumb one

Novelty song for someone

The song is wrong

The song is right

I might forget the words
