New Year’s Day Lyrics

There’s glitter on the floor
after the party
Girls carrying their shoes
down in the lobby
Candle wax and Polaroids
on the hardwood floor
You and me from the night before, but

Don’t read the last page
But I stay when you’re lost
and I’m scared,
and you’re turning away
I want your midnights
But I’ll be cleaning up bottles
with you on New Year’s Day

You squeeze my hand three times
in the back of the taxi
I can tell that
it’s gonna be a long road
I’ll be there if you’re the toast
of the town, babe
Or if you strike out and
you’re crawling home

Don’t read the last page
But I stay when it’s hard,
or it’s wrong,
or we’re making mistakes
I want your midnights
But I’ll be cleaning up bottles
with you on New Year’s Day

Hold on to the memories
They will hold on to you
Hold on to the memories
They will hold on to you
Hold on to the memories
They will hold on to you
And I will hold on to you

Please don’t ever become a stranger
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
Please don’t ever become a stranger
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere

There’s glitter on the floor after the party
Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby
Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor
You and me, forevermore

Don’t read the last page
But I stay when it’s hard
or it’s wrong,
or we’re making mistakes
I want your midnights
But I’ll be cleaning up bottles
with you on New Year’s Day

Hold on to the memories
They will hold on to you
Hold on to the memories
They will hold on to you
Hold on to the memories
They will hold on to you
And I will hold on to you

Please don’t ever become a stranger
(hold on to the memories,
they will hold on to you)
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
(hold on to the memories,
they will hold on to you)

Please don’t ever become a stranger
(hold on to the memories
they will hold on to you)
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
(I will hold on to you)
