A New England

I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song
I'm thirty-six now, but I won't be for long
People ask when will you grow up to be a man
But all the girls I loved at school
Are already pushing prams

I loved you then as I love you still
Though I put you on a pedestal
I put you on the pill
I don't feel bad about letting you go
I just feel bad about letting you know

I don't wanna change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
I'm just looking for another girl
I don't wanna change the world
Yea, I'm not looking for a new England
I'm just looking for another girl

And I loved the words you wrote to me
But that was fuckin' yesterday
I can't survive on what you send
Every time you need a friend

I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them but they were only satellites
Is it wrong to wish on space hardware?
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care

I don't wanna change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
I'm just looking for another girl
I don't wanna change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
I'm just looking for another girl
I'm just looking for another girl
I'm just looking for another girl

You're thirty, you're forty-one
You're all these things and then you're none
