New Rules Video (MV)

I know he's out there
Running about there
Make reservations
Deep conversations
Send in some flowers
Pass by the hours
Send out some worn old postcards

Walking around with nowhere to go
Directions are vague and traffic is slow
I'm up in the clouds I'm up in the clouds
I'm not coming down I'm not
It must be hard

Tried a thousand times
But I can't read between the lines you wrote

There are classic games in need of new Rules
If you are the bait then looks are the tool
Cover your bases, fragile and graceless
Keeping in pace with the crowd
It must be hard

Tried a thousand times
But I can't read between the lines you wrote
Tried a thousand times
I can't read between the lines you wrote

I walked a thousand miles to your house
Where you taught me how to be a better man
I sent a thousand letters to your house with a thousand ways to tell you how I care

I meant the thousand words we spoke aloud
And all the pictures that went with them you hung them out
It's getting better by the minute
I think you said
To consider all the things
That you can't have

And all the words you said felt pure again
But there's no peace inside your head
And so I'm drowning on a distant wave
But at least you're far away from me now
