[Verse 1] New chapter in an old book Coffee ring ghosts on the margin My name in the corner Underlined in red again Back to the basics Basics to the back Alphabet sprawled on a yellow pad Hands stained blue from the pen I chew Every crooked letter Feels like starting new [Chorus] A new chapter in an old book Turn the page Let the dust fall Back to the basics Basics to the back All that I carried I pack it Unpack it Starting from scratch Scratching from the start Erase these lines But I keep my heart [Verse 2] Box of old notes on the bedroom floor Ticket stubs Bills I never paid for Folded-up lists of the plans I made Every inked promise Starting to fade So I clear one shelf Stack one dream Write one truth that I actually mean Blank page bright like a kitchen light It stings my eyes But it feels like it's right [Chorus] A new chapter in an old book Turn the page Let the dust fall Back to the basics Basics to the back All that I carried I pack it Unpack it Starting from scratch Scratching from the start Erase these lines But I keep my heart [Bridge] The library of my mind Lost pages everywhere Corners full of crumpled notes Keep writing, getting there.... Ripping out the pages that never were mine Softly Softly I cross that line Every restart just circles back But this time I walk And I don’t look back [Chorus] A new chapter in an old book Turn the page Let the dust fall Back to the basics Basics to the back All that I carried I pack it Unpack it Starting from scratch Scratching from the start Erase these lines But I keep my heart The library of my mind Lost pages everywhere Corners full of crumpled notes Keep writing, getting there....
