A commonplace, a restaurant, an old jukebox playing that song,
You moved away for the Ivy League, but I heard you’re coming back New Year's Eve
We count down from 4, don’t turn away, you were put on earth to keep me safe
If I’m on the floor, stay close to me, let your shadow pull the light from my face
On New Year's Day
I meet your eyes from across the room, through my shirt, my heart pounds through
I asked you if, you wanted to dance, set down your drink, and held out your hand
We count down from 4, don’t turn away, you were put on earth to keep me safe
If I’m on the floor, stay close to me, let your shadow pull the light from my face
On New Year's Day
You know the score, I know the play, If I’m on the floor stay close to me
We countdown from 4, don’t turn away, you were put on earth to keep me safe
We walk out the door and disappear, it's even better than it was in my head
We countdown from 4
It's even better than it was in my head
Maybe we could start something new, on new year's day
