Novelty Lyrics

For both of our first times

We kinda struck gold with each other

But I'd always assumed

An elephant in the room

Which we choose to ignore

I know I'm growing onto you

But you're a self-proclaimed rolling stone

And I'm only me

How long will it be

Until you get bored?

You're not scared of arriving

You're just scared of staying too long

Will you still be beside me

When the novelty's gone?

And I'm not scared of dying

I'm just scared of living wrong

Will I still be beside you

When the novelty's gone?

You're good to me and for me

I won't take that for granted

When so many get used or get stuck

I thank God for my luck

To have landed this deal.

But could I do better?

Despite everything, I can't really shake

A tiny but terrible doubt

Could I be missing out

By not playing the field?

When the novelty's gone

It feels good when you hold me

And beyond being lovers, we're friends

We laugh most of the time,

And when we don't, we are kind

We talk well and fight fair.

It's come to the point where

I don't think this is likely to end of its own accord anytime soon

The elephant in the room

Has made its home there.
