New Trick

next song/previous song

It's unlike me
To lower my drawbridge
It's not like me to feel at home
But I don't need a carrot
Don't need a stick
I'm an old dog
With a new trick

Wouldn't normally
Come out on your side
Don't normally give up my ground
But I need to know you
So I'm learning quick
I'm an old dog
With a new trick

I never had my mind made up
I never changed my point of view
I haven't commandeered the truth
I'm just turning leaves
My heart believes in you

Don't delve too deep
Don't look too close now
You might not like what you might see
But there's nothing there
That I can't fix
I'm an old dog
With some new tricks
