Lyrics

You made me feel like I'm ok, I could be happy
Now I can sit, not run away stupidly laughing
Wipe out all self-pity, it's slowing me down
Turn off feeling pretty, dressing up dressing down

I walk around the city out of my way, looking for something
I've got all that I need to save my day, so why'm I running?

You said I should get professional help, it always makes me cry
I know I'm just an amateur, but I've gotta try

I had a birthday party and it was packed, got friends who love me
We hung a disco ball up and watched the lights, they were so lovely

When exactly are we? I get the decades mixed up
I like the streets when they're empty, I can make the rest up

Every day is new year's eve, every night is the last night
Every day is new year's eve, every time is the last time
