The New Year

I'm sick of cleaning up the mess you left behind

(Oh, what a way to start the new year)

On my hands and knees and cleaning up the dirt and grime

(Oh, what a way to start the new year)

I'm sick of barking 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

Oh, what a way to start the new year

Won't you say that it's alright?

Won't you tell me it's okay?

'Cause we have 364 more days

Well, 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

Oh, what a way to start the new year

Don't get me wrong, I hate this holiday

(Oh, what a way to start the new year)

On my hands and knees and choosing what I have to say

(Oh, 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, oh

Won't you say that it's alright?

Won't you tell me it's okay?

'Cause we have 364 more days

Well, 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

But 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

Oh, my year

364 More days

One million chances left to find you and to see your face

Making light out of my shadows

We'll finally get to zero

Maybe we'll both say

That we have 364 more days

One million chances left to find you and to see your face

Making light out of my shadows

We'll finally get to zero

Maybe we'll both say

Oh, what a way to start the new year
