Brand New (Live) - Ben Rector

I saw the light, I've been baptized By the fire in your touch and the flame in your eyes I'm born to love again I'm a brand new man Well, the whole town's talkin' 'Bout the line I'm walkin' That leads right to your door Oh how I used to roam I was a rolling stone I used to have a wild side They say a country mile wide I'd burn those beer joints down That's all changed now You turned my life around I saw the light, I've been baptized By the fire in your touch and the flame in your eyes I'm born to love again I'm a brand new man I used to love 'em and leave 'em Oh, I'd brag about my freedom How no one could tie me down Then I met you Now my heart beats true Baby, you and me together Feels more like forever Than anything I've ever known We're right on track I ain't looking back I saw the light, I've been baptized By the fire in your touch and the flame in your eyes I'm born to love again I'm a brand new man I saw the light, I've been baptized By the fire in your touch and the flame in your eyes I'm born to love again I'm a brand new man I saw the light, I've been baptized By the fire in your touch and the flame in your eyes I'm born to love again I'm a brand new man I'm born to love again I'm a brand new man

Yo, let me start off by first apologizing Girl, you think I take you for granted But um I'm here to take it back Can we pull back a minute and make believe that? I don't know you and you don't know me Darling, let's pretend This old school love is brand new Can we explore the places I've already been? Just tell me where and I'll kiss it again Darling, let's pretend This old school love is brand new I know I shouldn't have to ask But it seems that I've relaxed And I'm getting the feelings that It's time I take it back [Incomprehensible] night escapes In the car callin' out my name You being scared when your friend was late Then being cool when it finally came, those were the days Can we pull back a minute and make believe that? I don't know you and you don't know me Darling, let's pretend This old school love is brand new Can we explore the places I've already been? Just tell me where and I'll kiss it again Darling, let's pretend This old school love is brand new Way back when hickies were the thing You wore bloomers, not that sexy G-string And gettin' blue balls was a daily thing But it was alright, with me To when that very first time went down How you moaned when I went down You were the one, I had no doubt We need to get that back right now 'cause those were the days Can we pull back a minute and make believe that? I don't know you and you don't know me Darling, let's pretend This old school love is brand new Can we explore the places I've already been? Just tell me where and I'll kiss it again Darling, let's pretend This old school love is brand new We're still here 'Cause we conquered every feeling The fire burns inside like yester year My baby since back in the day We knew it would be us Holding on to that first crush Had to say today, is what it was So let's keep on sending, it's only beginning Can we pull back a minute and make believe that? I don't know you and you don't know me Darling, let's pretend This old school love is brand new Can we explore the places I've already been? Just tell me where and I'll kiss it again Darling, let's pretend This old school love is brand new Can we pull back a minute and make believe that? I don't know you and you don't know me Darling, let's pretend This old school love is brand new Can we explore the places I've already been? Just tell me where and I'll kiss it again Darling, let's pretend This old school love is brand new Back, like Cadillacs and hubcaps Back, like leavin' letters in your nap sack Back, like Jellies and pro keds Back to girl, when we first met Back, to when Mike had the glove on Back, to when our love was so strong Back, to the days I know you miss I'll give back, I promise this Can we pull back a minute and make believe that? I don't know you and you don't know me Darling, let's pretend This old school love is brand new Can we explore the places I've already been? Just tell me where and I'll kiss it again Darling, let's pretend This old school love is brand new Let me explore the places I've already been? Tell me where and I'll kiss it again Darling, let's pretend again, let's pretend Baby, I wanna just love you, I wanna love you I wanna love you, [Incomprehensible] you, [Incomprehensible] you That's all I wanna do, baby All I wanna do, love

Some stupid picture, some vacation, someone I don't know And ten expert opinions on some stranger's post And then I know Much to my surprise From a face I haven't seen in a long, long time To say you're fine Over a couple pages Between the lines You were really saying Sometimes I just wonder what it would've been like If you were with me Don't worry your mind I'm not crying at night I just think of you sometimes Sometimes, yeah He's walking his dog out on Venice beach Said he came to Los Angeles to chase some dream "In '95," he said, "I left my girls behind And the time of second chances, it's been gone for a long time" I called a phone I rambled on again but After the tone What I really meant was Sometimes I just wonder what it would've been like If you were with me Don't worry your mind I'm not crying at night I just think of you sometimes Oh We say goodbye As if we're going places And you can try But you can't keep your heart from saying Sometimes I just wonder what it would've been like If you were with me Don't worry your mind I'm not crying at night I just think of you I still think of you I just think of you sometimes

I feel just like a sailboat Don't know where I'm headed But you can't make the wind blow From a sailboat I've seen the sun Felt the rain on my skin I've been lost and found But mostly I've been waiting Oh, I'm out in the waves And I'm hoping and praying Please let this wind blow me home Night after night There's an empty horizon My God, do I feel so alone But sometimes life And most times I feel just like a sailboat And I'm pretty sure I'm heard At least I know I'm speaking But I feel like a fool Cause I can't hear you listening But I'm not giving up, Oh, I'm gonna move on forward I'm gonna raise my sail God knows what I'm headed towards Oh I'm out in the waves And I'm hoping and praying Please let this wind blow me home And night after night There's an empty horizon My god do I feel so alone Sometimes life And most times I feel just like a sailboat Only change I see Lost or found at sea The only difference Is believing I'll make it in Oh I'm out in the waves And I'm hoping and praying Please let this wind blow me home And night after night There's an empty horizon My god do I feel so alone Sometimes life And most times I feel just like a sailboat
