Parachute - 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 out the dirt and grime
(Oh, what a way to start the new year)

I'm sick of holding both ends of a tightrope
Cause when you fall all that's left is old high hopes for me
I'm stretched thin to the end tryn' to keep it all in
Oh, what a way to start the new year

Won't you say that it's all right?
Won't you tell me it's okay?

Because there is 300 and 64 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
(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 become oh Won't you say that it's all right?
Won't you tell me it's okay?

Cause we have 300 and 64 more days
I might be smiling but you'll never even here 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

300 and 64 more days
1 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 300 and 64 more days
1 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
