i heard a whistle come from my nightstand,
my phone atop a book i haven't read.
mom sent a photo of banana bread,
that she just baked with a text that said:
"what's old becomes new again"
a practice that's been long forgotten
you take something that has gone rotten
and watch it become new again
i feel a pain throbbing in my hand,
caught in a door and sliced it open.
but a scab's already coming in,
healing powers i don't understand
what's old becomes new again
a cut in the skin stitched up with thread
it's taking something that's gone rotten
and watching it become new again
meeting someone new and seeing sparks,
despite the fact you still have a broken heart.
letting go of grudges you swore you'd save,
the weight of your resentment slipping away.
you find yourself held back by a tired belie,f
but then you tear it down and you're finally free.
that thing you thought would kill you the year before,
don't even hurt to think about anymore.
what's old becomes new again
(what's old becomes new)
what's old becomes new again
(what's old becomes new)
what's old becomes new again
(what's old becomes new)
what's old becomes new
