About This Track

'New' by Lizzy McAlpine is a track from the album 'Indigo' and was released in 2018. In the lyrics, the narrator feels restless and trapped, wanting to run away from where they are, then turning to hesitant hopes about learning to love someone else. There is a sense of emotional bargaining, with the repeated possibility that time might change things, alongside the fear that nothing will shift. The verse swings between wanting escape and imagining replacement, as the voice tries to reframe their ability to love.

"New" is a track by Lizzy McAlpine, from the album Indigo, released 9th February 2018. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 13 articles about Lizzy McAlpine.

Lyrics

New

[Verse 1]

I feel like running

So far away from here

I'm stuck in pudding

Can't move an inch my dear

Maybe in time

I could learn to love another

Maybe he'll be just like you

Maybe in time

I could grow to be some other

Person who can love like you

Ooh, ooh

[Verse 2]

I'm just existing

Not taking up too much space

It's probably this thing

Making my heart jump out of its place

I know in time

I will learn to love another

I hope he's just like you

I know in time

I will grow to be some other

Person who can love like you

[Chorus]

I'm not happy

But I'm getting through the days

I feel lonely

But I don't let the darkness engulf me in flames

I am new

Because of you

I feel free

Because you helped me see

[Verse 3]

Sometimes I wonder

Sometimes I don't

Lightning and thunder

Threaten to sink my faltering boat

I hope you know

That I've never loved another

Quite the way that i loved you

I hope you know

That I'll never find another

Person who can love like you

[Chorus]

I'm not happy

But I'm getting through the days

I feel lonely

But I don't let the darkness engulf me in flames

I am new

Because of you

I feel free

Because you helped me see

Oh, ooh
