Brand New Sidewalk
[Verse 1]
Five years ago, you pressed your hand
Into a brand new sidewalk
It's well-worn now, and though some tried
Yours is the only print there
[Chorus]
You might not have meant to
But it's done you can't take it out
You're shy about what fortune lent you
Is that what this is about?
[Verse 2]
Smile while you can 'cause when they find
You're not amused, not really
They'll rob you blind of what they gave
Yes you gave them that power
[Chorus]
You might not have meant to
But it's done you can't take it back
Cry about where fame sent you
Without a plan of attack
[Verse 3]
Five years ago, I warned you, dear
As a concerned admirer
You never knew, you never heard
The veil was still in place
[Chorus]
Thank God you hate to listen
If I would not be here
Lifting the veil to kiss you
Next to a brand new sidewalk
