New Year's Day
Michael Shynes
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
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
Its even better than it was in my head
We countdown from 4
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
Maybe we could start something new
