A New England Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was 21 years when I heard this song
I'm 22 now, but I won't be for long
People ask when will you grow up to understand
But the girls I knew in school are already pushing prams
I loved you then as I love you still
Though I put you on a pedestal
They put you on the pill
I don't feel bad about letting you go
I just feel sad about letting you know

[Chorus]
I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
Are you looking for another girl?
I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
Are you looking for another girl?

[Verse 2]
I loved the words you wrote to me
But that was bloody 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
[Chorus]
I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
Are you looking for another girl?
I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
Are you looking for another girl?

[Verse 3]
My cheeks[?] were full of strange ideas
My mind would satisfy your fears
But everything's got in the way
I never asking for it to stay
Once upon a time at home
I sat beside the telephone
Waiting for someone to pull me through
When it happens and it rang I knew it wasn't you

[Chorus]
I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
Are you looking for another girl?
I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new England
Are you looking for another girl?
Looking for another girl
Looking for another girl
Looking for another girl
Looking for another girl
