Let's do the hard part first
Connecticut white, we expected the worst
Sometime past midnight* we set out on the road
Said goodbye to our house in the New England snow
Crossed the first county line
Sat up in the back seat, said I was just fine
Looking out to a world that was bound to be new
Looking out to a world that was just me & you**
Just me & you
I don't need it to be only rainbows
The things we'll find, nobody knows
I just hope it's a place where I can stop runnin'
I'm just lookin' for a new New London
Cue the steady stream of tears
The insatiable feeling that won't disappear
The hope for a new life is still on your mind
I've been trying to tell you that it might take some time
Might take some time
I don't need it to be only rainbows
The things we'll find, nobody knows
I just hope it's a place where I can stop runnin'
I'm just lookin' for a new New London
Never knew who to blame
We've got to stop holding ourselves over the flame
We watch our lives go by, frame by frame
Let's do the hard part first
Carolina breeze, we no longer feel cursed
I don't need it to be only rainbows
The things we'll find, nobody knows
I just hope it's a place where I can stop runnin'
I'm just lookin' for a new New London
I don't need it to be only rainbows
The things we'll find, nobody knows
We all need a place, we're all searching for something
We're just lookin' for a new New London
I'm just lookin' for a new New London
* let's call it 12:04
