I'm sick of cleanin' up the mess you left behind
(Oh, what a way to start the new year)
On my hands and knees and cleanin' up the dirt and grime
(Oh, what a way to start the new year)
I'm sick of holdin' both ends of the tightrope
'Cause when you fall all that's left is old high hopes for me
Stretched thin to the end, tryin' 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 300 and 64 more days
I might be smilin' but you'll never even hear me say
That I like it in the shadows
Countin' 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
(Oh, what a way to start the new year)
On my hands and knees and choosin' 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 300 and 64 more days
I might be smilin' but you'll never even hear me say
That I like it in the shadows
Countin' 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
300 and 64 more days
1 million chances left to find you and to see your face
Makin' light out of my shadows
Finally get to zero and maybe we'll both say
That we have 300 and 64 more days
1 million chances left to find you and to see your face
Makin' light out of my shadows
Finally get to zero and maybe we'll both say
Oh, what a way to start the new year
