lyrics

Never heard anyone sing about how they started a band on their very first date
How he’s always stealing the food that’s on her plate
There’s never been a song about how they stayed in their hotel room for 3 days straight
And in 13 years they’ve never once been late
How he tells one joke and it’s obscene
How they share one lucky slot machine
How she hid a burnt dinner under their bed
Wrote him letters to read when she is dead

All the songs they play are all cliche
There’s only one way to write this wrong
We’re gonna need a new love song
Yeah, yeah, we need a new love song
Yeah, yeah, we need a new love song
Cuz we never found the right one
If we really wanna sing along
Then baby we can write our own
We can write our own love song

Never heard anyone sing about how he read his favorite book right over her shoulder
How she steals the covers when it gets colder
There’s never been a song about how they played board games like it’s world war three
How she made him buy a twelve foot Christmas tree
How she tore his shirt on New Year’s Eve
How misspelled words are their pet peeve
How he hides his whiskey in the fridge
What they did that night on the Governor’s bridge

All the tunes they sing are not our thing
And we’re done tryin’ to sing along
We really need a new love song
Yeah, yeah, we need a new love song
Yeah, yeah, we need a new love song
Cuz we never found the right one
If we really want to sing along
Then baby we can write our own
We can write our own love song

This ain’t no silly little love song
It ain’t no song sung blue
This ain’t no Elton John
It ain’t what Hank would do
It’s just a love song written for me and you

We need a new love song
Yeah, yeah, we need a new love song
Yeah, yeah, we need a new love song
Cuz we never found the right one
So let’s write our own love song
Yeah, yeah, we’ll write our own love song
Yeah, yeah, we’re gonna write our own love song
Cuz we never found the right one
And if we really wanna sing along
Then baby we can write our own
We can write our own love song
