[Verse 1]
I wish the lines I read were true
The roses' red were all dark blue
I snapped their wilted stems
The same way they were bent
That didn′t fool you
The poets, they lie to calm their fears
They sit in bars and sip on beers
A pen their only friend
They write like it's the end
You know it's near
[Pre-Chorus]
Woah
December 31st again
Woah
A stranger has an ear to lend so
[Chorus]
Come here, my darlin′
Come here, my dear
I need someone to touch me
Remind me that I'm here
Let's toast to the rebellion
The war within our sphere
Just kiss my cheek and whisper
Happy New Year
[Verse 2]
The blood is dried on jagged scars
The red subsides to spattered art
I use the crimson paint
To try and recreate the days I knew you
A picture, it can't replace a laugh
The damaged sign their autographs
The fame and public name, I′d trade, no hesitation
To get our time back
[Pre-Chorus]
Woah
December 31st again
Woah
This trip around the sun has been, so
[Chorus]
Come here, my darlin′
Come here, my dear
I need someone to touch me
Remind me that I'm here
Let's toast to the past decade
Like noble cavaliers
Just kiss my cheek and whisper
Happy New Year
[Bridge]
January, February, March, April, May
Nomads of the underground
This city doesn′t age
Season after season
All riding the same train
Eyes avoid each other
On this frigid holiday, so
[Chorus]
Come here, my darlin'
Come here, my dear
I need someone to touch me
Remind me that I′m here
Let's toast to the rebellion
The war within our sphere
Just kiss my cheek and whisper
Happy New Year
