Lyrics
Press pause on the world, leaving everything suspended in its place
Zoom in on the girl with the featureless expression on her face
Stranded on the sidelines, keeping life at bay
She's watching as the moments slip away
This year, the summer and the fall just blew across her phone
This year, every chance she had, she spent the day alone
The fireworks and the countdown
Sing Auld Lang Syne and cheer
Will it all just be the same next year?
It's nice on your own
You can never get it wrong if you refuse to answer the phone
To let anybody close enough to lose
But all the time I'm waiting, I'm drifting out to sea
And nobody can change the tide but me
This year, the winter and the wind can blow the windows out
This year, the voices in the dark can bawl, and scream, and shout
But if I listen closely, there's someone I can hear
The someone I could be this year
Wide awake in the city tonight
And the world is alive in the flickering light
In the anticipation of the girl that you might still be
Will be
Take strength in the word
Is there really something moving in your heart?
Down Bowery and 3rd
At the corner of a world about to start
And all the lights are blazing in green, and red, and gold
And everything looks clearer in the cold
And this time, the weather of the world that swirls inside my mind
This year is gonna be the year I leave it all behind
And after all the storm clouds, the sky is blowing clear
And something in the distance is slowly drawing near
There's everything to hope for, and everything to fear
And all the world is new this year
And all the world is new this year
