I'm sick of cleaning up the mess you left behind
way to start the new year!]
On my hands and knees and cleaning up the dirt and grime
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
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?
Because there's...
Three hundred and sixty-four 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
way to start the new year!]
On my hands and knees, choosing what I have to say
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...
Three hundred and sixty-four 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... oh, my year!
Three hundred and sixty-four more days,
One million chances left to find you and to see your face
Making light out of my shadows, finally get to zero
And maybe we'll both say, that we have...
Three hundred and sixty-four more days
One million chances left to find you and to see your face
Making light out of my shadows, finally get to zero
And maybe we'll both say
"Oh, what a way to start the new year!"
