“New Emotion” is track 2 on The Aces' second album Under My Influence. According to the band on a Q&A the day of the album release, this song is about “falling for someone you’re not supposed to”
[Verse 1]
Thought about it
Never thought about it before
Now I'm thinking about it
I'm surprised and I'm kind of torn
So I'm running from it
You're my friend
I shouldn't be thinking about you like that
But I'm thinking like that
[Verse 2]
At the party
Why'd you show up looking like that?
So unnecessary
When I'm trying to hold this back
Gotta forget about it
You're my friend
I shouldn't be thinking about you like that
But I'm thinking like that
[Pre-Chorus]
About you in my arms
How you'd feel in the dark
Under the moonlight
Now I've had a few drinks
And you lean into me
Why's it feel right?
[Chorus]
What's this new emotion that I'm feeling
When I'm around you?
What's this now? I'm losing sleep
I can't stop thinking about you
Never felt this with you before
We were friends, now I want more
Would you take it wrong
If I leaned in for a kiss now, babe?
What's this new emotion that I'm feeling
When I'm around you?
[Verse 3]
Ready for it
I've gone too far inside my mind
It's already ruined
In my head, I've crossed that line
So I'm going for it
'Cause what's the point of holding back?
I want you like that
You know I want you like that, babe
[Pre-Chorus]
About you in my arms
How you'd feel in the dark
Under the moonlight
Now I've had a few drinks
And you lean into me
Why's it feel right?
[Chorus]
What's this new emotion that I'm feeling
When I'm around you?
What's this now? I'm losing sleep
I can't stop thinking about you
Never felt this with you before
We were friends, now I want more
Would you take it wrong
If I leaned in for a kiss now, babe?
What's this new emotion that I'm feeling
When I'm around you?
[Outro]
I can't help myself
Can't help myself when I'm around you, girl
