And This Is New

Liner Notes
Written on Tuesday February 11 while driving from Cleveland Ohio to Champaign Illinois. Sang the melody a capella into my phone. Now, I'm trying to harmonize it and I'm not sure that I have found the right chords, but this demo is a start.
This is definitely the kind of song that I wouldn't share if it weren't FAWM. Also, I'm not sure about this chorus. Like, maybe?
Lyrics
This is new I never thought I'd hear I'm sorry from you And all these years I needed to This is new We can just sit around the table now and talk I can see you're not as able to walk as maybe you'd like to
We are older Old enough to say "You shoulda seen us" Old enough to have so much between us Me and you We are older But I remember well being younger I'm reminded every time I hear the thunder I am older We are older And this is new
This is new You need help and I'm the one you're coming to Hand me the jar, I'll get it open for you This is new What happened to the rage and the anger? "You just wait till your dad gets home" I knew the danger of you
We are older Old enough to say "You shoulda seen us" Old enough to have so much between us Me and you We are older But I remember well being younger I'm reminded every time I hear the thunder I am older We are older And this is new
This is new And walking's overrated anyhow And talking's what we need to do right now This is new You're trying and I'm trying to And that might be the best we do
We are older Old enough to say "You shoulda seen us" Old enough to have so much between us Me and you We are older But I remember well being younger I'm reminded every time I hear the thunder I am older You are older I am older We are older And this is new

Masterful songwriting. We are older and this is new. A great song about growing old together.
