Story Behind The Song
We were tired of hearing the same cliche love songs after performing at weddings, so we wanted to write a quirky love song with very specific anecdotes of a couple falling in love, but still make it relatable to any couple.
Song Description
Falling in love isn't just chemistry and looking into each other's eyes. It's all the weird little moments that you share as a couple, things you've never done with someone else that become ingrained in your shared memory. Those quirky moments are what inspired "We Need a New Love Song."

Lyrics
Never heard anyone sing about how they
Started a band on their very first date
How she's always stealing the food right off his plate
No there's never been a song about how they
Stayed in their hotel room for three 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 right this wrong
?We're gonna need a new love song
Yeah, we need a new 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
Never heard anyone sing about how he read his
Favorite book right over her shoulder
How she's always stealing the covers when she's colder
Ain't never been a song about how they played
Board games like it's World War Three
How she made him buy a twelve foot tall 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, we need a new love song
Cuz we never found the right one
And 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
