I'm sick of cleaning up the mess you left behind
|
What a way to start the new year
|
On my hands and knees cleaning up the dirt and grime
|
What a way to start the new year
|
|
I'm sick of holding both ends of the tightrope
|
Cause when you fall all that's left is old high hopes for me
|
Stretched thin to the end trying to keep it all in
|
What a way to start the new year
|
|
Won't you say that it's alright?
|
Won't you tell me it's okay?
|
|
Because there's 364 more days
|
I might be smiling but you'll never even hear me say
|
That I like it in the shadows
|
Counting down to zero just to start again
|
Oh what a way to start the new year
|
|
Don't get me wrong, I hate this holiday
|
What a way to start the new year
|
On my hands and knees, choosing what I have to say
|
What a way to start the new year
|
I never realized it could mean so much
|
Just to go to bed later when we have to get up all the same,
|
And we scream and clap for the end of what was and what we've become
|
|
Won't you say that it's alright?
|
Won't you tell me it's okay?
|
|
Because we have 364 more days
|
I might be smiling but you'll never even hear me say
|
That I like it in the shadows
|
Counting down to zero just to start again
|
Oh what a way to start the new year
|
|
Was it really that bad?
|
And could it be better?
|
Well, I don't know, but with you I still have hope
|
That this could be my year
|
364 more days, 1 million chances left to find you and to see your face
|
Making light out of the shadows, finally get to zero
|
Maybe we'll both say
|
364 more days, 1 million chances left to find you and to see your face
|
Making light out of the shadows, finally get to zero
|
Maybe we'll both say
|
What a way to start the new year
