We Can Be New

Can you tell that I've been hurt so?
Can you tell I wanna lay low?
Can you tell that I'm a flower
Waiting for a sun shower?

Can you tell that love denied me?
I need someone to revive me
If you give me a reason
I'll be with you through the seasons

And we'll shed off our skin like trees do with leaves
We'll glide together down on winter breeze
And rest in the earth intertwined at the roots
Until we have grown into one, me and you

And we can be new
And we can be new
And we can be new
And we can be new

Can you tell me a story
That ends with morning glory?
Can you tell I will believe you
If I could remember how to?

Can you tell the girl I once was
Come back, there's nothing here to fear, love?
If you give me a reason
I'll be with you through the seasons

And we'll shed off our skin like trees do with leaves
We'll glide together down on winter breeze
And rest in the earth intertwined at the roots
Until we have grown into one, me and you

And we can be new
And we can be new
And we can be new
And we can be new

Want to begin, want to begin to grow our new future love
Where the ground is still fertile, full of hope and life
Never again, never again will pain and lies do you in
Let's bury them beside us, so they can remind us of when we

Shed off our skin like trees do with leaves
We'll glide together down on winter breeze
And rest in the earth intertwined at the roots
Until we have grown into one, me and you

And we can be new
And we can be new
And we can be new
And we can be new

And we can be new
And we can be new
And we can be new
And we can be new

Oh I want you to be new
And we can be new, oh
