What you've been doing for years is suddenly fashionable
Now you don't want to do it anymore
What you've been wearing for years is suddenly fashionable
Now you don't want to wear it anymore
This isn't new, you and I
Barely recognise you, your hair, your clothes, your voice
This isn't new, you and I
Barely recognise you, but that's not to say that I'm not impressed
It's about time, it's about time
It's about time, it's about time
You've started getting up in the morning
Eating breakfast, writing poetry, believing in ghosts
You've changed your favourite author, your favourite colour
And the brand of cigarettes that you smoke
This isn't new, you and I
Barely recognise you, your hair, your clothes, your voice


Your passion, it is something far too frightening to try
Jumped over a cliff, took your clothes off in the ocean
And swam to a foreign shore
This isn't new, you and I
Moments of excitement, it is something far too frightening to try
Gave up your one true fight
Ignored your mother's advice
Called the one you've been admiring from afar
This isn't new, you and I
I barely recognize you, but that's not to say that I'm not impressed.
This is the new, new, new, new, new, it's about time, it's about time, it's about time, it's about time, it's about time, it's about time, it's about time.
It's about time, it's about time, it's about time, it's about time.
