[Verse 1] You show up at my door In that old green sweater Glitter on your cheeks From the party we left earlier Two paper cups of tea Steam fogs up the window You laugh and say “Another year” But it feels like home
[Chorus] New year Same us Still the ones that I can run to Fireworks fading But your hand is still in mine If everything changes If the whole world comes undone New year Same us And that’s enough this time
[Verse 2] We talk about our plans All the things we’re scared of You trace them in the air Like you’re drawing constellations You say “If I fall short Promise you won’t leave me” I point right at your heart Say “You’re already where you need to be”
[Chorus]
[Bridge] [low vocal register] When the countdown’s over And the noise goes quiet It’s just your soft shoulder And my tired eyes [build] I don’t need confetti To know I’m lucky You’re the wish I get Every January
[Chorus] [Chorus]
