Brand New

(Verse 1) Remember mixtapes and moonlit drives? Sixteen summers, feeling so alive Now the radio plays a different song, but the melody's still sweet and strong Forty on the clock, a couple more lines, but the spark in your eyes, it hasn't declined (Chorus) Didn't think we'd be here, raising a teenager, navigating every fear But here we are, laughin' at the mess, a family portrait, happiness Forty's not so bad, got you by my side, teenage angst, we'll take it all in stride (Verse 2) Weekends used to be for sleeping in, now it's band concerts and laundry bins His bedroom door, a slamming symphony, but the sound of his laughter sets my soul free He's growing up too fast, that's the bittersweet sting But holding him close, these precious moments I cling (Chorus) Didn't think we'd be here, raising a teenager, navigating every fear But here we are, laughin' at the mess, a family portrait, happiness Forty's not so bad, got you by my side, teenage angst, we'll take it all in stride (Bridge) The world may spin a little faster now, wrinkles trace stories on our brow But the love we built, a foundation strong, weathering storms, where we belong (Chorus) Didn't think we'd be here, raising a teenager, navigating every fear But here we are, laughin' at the mess, a family portrait, happiness Forty's not so bad, got you by my side, teenage angst, we'll take it all in stride (Outro) Forty's not so bad, a chapter unfolds, a love story forever untold With you by my side, and him in our view, forty's the best part, it's brand new [End]
