about
Sam Casey reveals that the inspiration for New Company came from "the realization that a shitty fling that I had been putting time, energy and real emotion into for months was never going to become a relationship. I wrote this song late at night in my dorm room during my first year at university."
lyrics
Babe, I don’t have the time to fight this war you start in my mind
And, babe, I don’t want to go away but I know that I can’t stay if you treat me this way
Well, the clock strikes one
And I’m pissed drunk
I want to call, but I know I’ll fall
Back into your arms
Where I feel most calm
But you’ll fuck it up like you’ve always done
And I will cry
And you’ll feel real bad
And we’ll be right back to where we fucking started
Baby, I saw you the other day
And I never thought I’d feel this way
But I am finally done
Well, the clock strikes one
And I’m pissed drunk
I want to call, but I know I’ll fall
Back into your arms
Where I feel most calm
But you’ll fuck it up like you’ve always done
And I will cry
And you’ll feel real bad
And we’ll be right back to where we fucking started
So, I want some new company
I want some new company
Yeah, I want some new company
I want new company
I want new company
Babe, when did it get so hard to break you
When did it get so hard to make you come over
Babe, when did it get so hard to break you
When did it get so hard to make you
Well, the clock strikes one
And I’m pissed drunk
I want to call, but I know I’ll fall
Back into your arms
Where I feel most calm
But you’ll fuck it up like you’ve always done
And I will cry
And you’ll feel real bad
And we’ll be right back to where we started

When Sam Casey was fifteen old, there were a bunch of guys that she didn’t know hesitating at the top of a high rock face
overlooking the lake near her cottage. Already a force of nature, she climbed up there, walked right past them and just jumped. It was probably a fifty feet drop. “As a young female artist, I believe that many people expect certain social norms from me that I disagree with.”...more
