New Years Eve

Intro Mute strumming Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh I wake up with it in the morning, I fall asleep with it at night It follows me like a favorite pet, it never leaves my side It's a symbol of the mess I've made, it's the part that won't come clean I've tried before to scrape it off, it's not as easy as it seems So I take it out and look at it, and copy it to scale, I write it all in letters I never plan to mail But if I did I hope you'd find comfort in the words A message of intended good, a peace that you deserve I hope that every weakened state has strength not far ahead And every time we think to lie the truth comes out instead Because gravity and weightlessness exist at the same time For me the only difference is the willingness to fly Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh I wish that I were purposeful, instead I'm insecure The locks have all been cut off, I'm naked and unsure I wish that it was new years eve because then I would declare From this day on I'll learn to breathe, stop holding onto air From this day on I'll watch the world revolve around the sun Stop screaming at the weatherman each time he gets it wrong Stop begging you to see me for more than I really am Start letting all the children out who live inside the man I'll notice what's around me, appreciate what's true And every time I see your soul, I'll show you that I do Because honesty is such a prize, what a gift you give to me And every time you open up you teach me to be free Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh Freedom can be frightening, sometimes I want to die Sometimes I am a sloppy mess, sometimes I have to cry But every cry has been a song and every song a prayer And every word I give to God lifts up into the air Explodes in every color, turns into energy And lets me know the world is bigger, bigger than me.
