Brand new to YOU!

lyrics

Guys with guitars at open mic bars
Are so much better than guys with skateboards
So much better than guys with books

Guys with guitars sing over and over the same
Things that keep me awake at night
Guys with guitars, they listen to my songs

Sing a song for me, don't be horrible
I'll sing a song for you
If you don't think it's terrible
Let's go home
We don't understand
What tomorrow's about anyway

Write me a song and I'll sing along
You won't marry me, I won't marry you
But at least, tonight, we can pretend we'll do
And then we will write a song
People will sing along
How he wouldn't marry her
She wouldn't marry him
And the next day she fell in love
With another guy with a guitar
At an open mic bar
With a bursting heart, just like her
And a hungry soul always searching for more

Guys with guitars sing over and over the same life
That I don't understand
And together we don't understand it
Together we don't understand it better

Sing a song for me, don't be horrible
I'll sing a song for you
If you don't think it's terrible
Let's go home
We don't understand
What tomorrow's about anyway

Write me a song and I'll sing along
You won't marry me, I won't marry you
But at least, tonight, we can pretend we'll do
And then we will write a song
People will sing along
How he wouldn't marry her
She wouldn't marry him
And the next day she fell in love
With another guy
'Cause she's in love with life
And another guy with a guitar at an open mic bar
With a bursting heart, just like her
And a hungry soul always searching for more
