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 up the dirt and grime   Oh what a way to start the new year   I’m sick of holding both ends of the tightrope   Cause when you fall all that’s left is old high hopes for me   Stretched thin to the end trying to keep it all in   O 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 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’ve become      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 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      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 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   Maybe we'll both say      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
