Lyrics:
Starved for attention & drowning in doubt,
Choosing the people I can’t live without.
Learning to share everything that I own,
Trying to show you just how much I’ve grown
It’s all new, all new for someone, someone like me, thinking in every step that
We are meant to be
And I will always be here
By your side at new year
& I don’t ever want to start
A New year without you, a new year without you
All of our days are spent rushing around,
Chasing careers & our peers on the ground,
Casting aside the ones that all care,
We’re filling the tank but we’re going nowhere
It’s all new, all new for someone, someone like me, thinking in every touch that
We are meant to be
I will always be here
By your side at new year
& I don’t ever want to start
A new year without you, a new year without you
A new year without you, a new year without you
Seasons will change & we both will grow old,
& we know that our bodies won’t do what they’re told.
Give love with ubiquity, give love to the earth,
We’ll commiserate dying, but we’ll celebrate birth
It’s all new, all new for someone, someone like me, thinking in every breath that
We are meant to be
I will always be here
By your side at new year
& I don’t ever want to start
A new year without you, a new year without you
A new year without you, a new year without you
