New Year`s Eve — текст песни (Five Iron Frenzy)

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.
