|
You tattoo the failures on, |
|
On to your length of arm. |
|
They may run wrist to shoulder blade. |
|
Whether my badges of |
|
Honor you lost in love. |
|
Savin' the tale of the child that failed for another day. |
|
This will be a totally new year. |
|
[Chorus] |
|
Don't let the pouring rain, |
|
Temper your day-by-day. |
|
Don't let the bones the closet may hold |
|
Get in the way. |
|
After a long dark night, |
|
Bathe in the morning light, |
|
Then take your return, |
|
The lesson you learned: |
|
You'll get it right. |
|
This is where we begin, |
|
Feels like an ending. |
|
Say it with no pretense, |
|
I'm tired of pretending. |
|
You know that life won't wait, |
|
You'll have to make your move |
|
The choices you make, every awful mistake, |
|
Will try to define you |
|
This will be a totally new year. |
|
[Chorus] |
|
This will be a totally new year. |
|
[Chorus, then repeat last two lines |
