New Year's

Hey, today's a new year, its a new day
we can drink our red wine and say what we need to say
its a minute til midnight and everyone's drunk
dreaming the coming days will all be okay

Hey, it's 12 o clock on our watches
as we straddle the past and count a years worth of notches
I'll tell you that rumor the teens used to say
about kissing on midnight and never going away
and we'll dance and we'll sing all night like the rest
it's ending and starting as the ultimate test
and the heart keeps on beating in the chest
of the new year

so you can take back that old new years kiss that you gave me
a year is just too long to dream
never start new years with kisses and wine
things never end up like they seem

hey, today's a new year, it's a new day
haven't seen you in a while, you took to dwindling away
it's a minute til midnight and I'm sitting alone
a year ago, you promised you'd stay

so you can take back that old new years kiss that you gave me
a year is just too long to dream
never start new years with kisses and wine
things never end up like they seem
