[Verse 1]
Last page of December
Mugs lined on your old desk
Glitter on your sweater
You laugh
"We made a mess"
All the plans we never finished
All the nights we stayed too late
Somehow every broken promise
Still brought us to this day
[Pre-Chorus]
You say
"What if we get better?"
I say
"What if we already are?"
Tiny wishes on confetti
Feel bigger in the dark
[Chorus]
New year
Same us
Holding on
That’s enough
If the world spins wild
We’ll steady it together
New year
Same heart
Beat as one in the dark
Every little step feels lighter when I’m with you
If all we change is how we see
That’s all we need
New year
Same us
And I’m glad it’s you with me
[Verse 2]
We write lists on napkins
Fold them
Tuck them in a jar
"Call your mom
" "be kinder"
"Trust the way you are"
You trace the lines upon my palm
Say
"Look how far we came"
We clink our cups at midnight
Softly whisper both our names
[Pre-Chorus]
You say
"What if we feel lonely?"
I say
"Then I’ll count to ten"
"By the time I reach the ending
You’ll hear my voice again"
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Here’s to every tear we hid
Every joke that saved the day
Here’s to walking home in silence
Still having so much to say
If tomorrow feels uncertain
We can let the moment stay
Right here on this living room floor
As the old year fades away
[Chorus]

Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d with light pads; pre-chorus adds rhythmic guitars and soft tom builds. Chorus opens wide with layered harmonies, airy percussion, and a soaring but controlled topline. Final chorus strips back for a bar then blooms with ad-libs and a simple bell counter-melody for maximum hopefulness., theme, vocal, emotional, gentle, heartfelt, warm, bright, uplifting, soft
