Laura Holliday - New Year Lyrics

I rang in the new year with you on my mind
From a party across town
Drinkin, thinkin back on number 25
We raise a glass and count it down

10, 9, 8 I waited patient
For the storms to pass but
It kept rainin darlin
7, 6, 5 put my dukes up to fight
And oh now I got bruises
But I'm still alive

So hand me that champagne flute
And darlin I'll cheers to you
And all the hard things I made myself do
(On my way to you)
Downtown, laughing at myself out loud cause
This year couldn't drown me out
Drown me out
Drown out

Fell into a rhythm I've lived in before
It happened in my sleep
But you woke up first led me right to the door
I slept-walked down your street
10, 9, 8 the days I hated
Sewn into my bones
No they weren't wasted, darling-
7, 6, 5 I took the deepest dives
Into my darkest waters
And came out alive

So hand me that champagne flute
And darlin I'll cheers to you
And all the hard things I made myself do
(On my way to you)
Downtown, laughing at myself out loud cause
This year couldn't drown me out
Drown me out
Drown out

This is not what I was promised
For my bright new start
The pain of bein honest
My "oversensitive" heart
I got more than I can handle
But I'm still here
I made a mess just like a human
Of my brand new year

I see the beginning so close in rear view
At a party across town
My eyes on the future
Hands all over you
Ya raise a glass and I count it down
