New Skin from Start Anew by Emily Davies

On a bridge, across a river, at the turning of the year
Is where we met and started talking, I remember it so clear
The way you held yourself so confident, no glimmer then of fear,
How easy then, when did that disappear?

We talked of lives that came before each other walked in through the door
Things we’re proud of, things we’d kept buried, deep within our core
There were times I felt so vulnerable, but also truly free
I only wanted you to really know me

But now you’re gone, and I don’t understand Lucien
Sure wasn’t easy all the time, but it felt real
It felt real

Wasn’t it right, wasn’t it right, wasn’t it right ‘cause it felt real
Wasn’t it right, wasn’t it right, wasn’t it right ‘cause it felt real
Wasn’t it right, wasn’t it right, wasn’t it right ‘cause it felt real
Wasn’t it right, wasn’t it right, wasn’t it right?

It’s a new skin that I’m living in, and sometimes it feels strange
The world I’ve known and how I’ve moved through it, has shifted, re-arranged
I’m still learning how it feels, I don’t always get it right
But I’m proud, to say I’m trying

But now you’re gone, and I don’t understand Lucien
Sure wasn’t say all the time, but it felt real
It felt real

Wasn’t it right, wasn’t it right, wasn’t it right ‘cause it felt real
Wasn’t it right, wasn’t it right, wasn’t it right ‘cause it felt real
Wasn’t it right, wasn’t it right, wasn’t it right ‘cause it felt real
Wasn’t it right, wasn’t it right, wasn’t it right?

And if it was right, you would be here, we would be dancing in my kitchen
To all the records, we had been playing, when we were still in the un-knowing
And it’s alright, that’s how the cards sometimes fall in this game that we’re all playing,
That we’re all playing
