Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So guess I got old
I was like trash on the sidewalk
I guess I knew why
Often it's hard to just sweet talk
[Verse 2]
I was old news to you then
Old news, old news to you then
[Verse 3]
You, you were like glue
Holding  each of us together
I slept through July
While you made lines in the heather
[Verse 4]
I was old news to you then
Old news, old news to you then
Fell for the ruse
With you then
Old news, old news to you dear
[Verse 5]
And I still see you when I try to sleep
I see the guard in the tower the street
Call out to nobody
Call out to me
Chip on the shoulder, the dime in the teeth
[Verse 6]
Now I can see how
We were like dust on the window
Not, much now that I
Everything stored in a bubble
I was old news to you then
Old news, old news to you then
