Partied like it was 1979
Or '85
Because it was
And it felt like
Everything was alright
But I knew
We knew
This couldn't last
Too much too fast
That night
I held you tight
Until
New Year's Day
Forgive our mistakes
We can wipe away
Everything that went wrong
New Year's Day
Start with a clean slate
They say
Shining futures
Await
So I left our room
That underground concrete tomb
Picked my way through the debris
Around me
Alone
I think I forgot something
I remember a light so blinding
Now I can't see a thing
I can't see you
New Year's Day
Throw it all away
Yesterday
Is gone for good
New Year's Day
We will find our way
Have no fear
New Year's Day
Is here
