Lyrics

It's new years eve and I'm full of empty promises
I half pretend to keep this time, just like last year
The band is loud and I'm wandering the shadows
Wishing I was never here
I persevere
A crowded room, these whitewashed tombs
They raise their glasses high, they kiss the past goodbye

This new years eve, I'm waiting for tomorrow
My heart is on my sleeve
And yes I still believe, this new years eve
Will turn out better than before
I'm holding on, still holding out
Until they close the door... on me

It's new years eve and I feel my insecurities
Are haunting me like ghosts, this sinking quicksand
And then with thunderous praise and lofty adoration
A second passes by, yet nothing changes
I hate my skin, this grave I'm standing in
Another change of years, and I wish I wasn't here

A year goes by and I'm staring at my watch again
And I dig deep this time
For something greater than I've ever been
Life to ancient wineskins
And I was blind but now I see

This new years eve, something must change me inside
I'm crooked and misguided, and tired of being tired
This new years eve, I'm waiting for tomorrow
My heart is on my sleeve, and yes I still believe, in you
