Mason Jennings - Brand New Old Friend lyrics

There are no windows here in this courtroom
Can't tell if it's day or
Night a smile on your
Face broke me out of this
Place suddenly it was
Alright so many people from so many walks
They all start shining whenever she talks
The moon and the planets
Were just big old rocks until
They saw the light
Hello my brand new old friend, so glad to
Meet you again we must go way
Way back don't it just feel now like
That? Oh how you matter to me
Proof of the great mystery
You make my heart feel free
Where have you been, brand new old friend?
Since I was little I've been afraid
Of dogs when they've come
Up to me then I had a family and I started
Thinking, a dog might make them so
Happy so we started looking
Who did we find? The sweetest
Expression, loving and kind
Looking up at me like she had read
My mind my fears melted away
Hello my brand new old friend, so glad to
Meet you again we must go way
Way back don't it just feel now like
That? Oh how you matter to me
Proof of the great mystery you make my
Heart feel free where have you been?
Whenever I see you
My whole life feels brand
New everything speaks to
Me and I'll face life hopefully when
I can't see your face
Life is an empty place a lonely and
Endless race I just can't win
Brand new old friend, brand new old friend
