The New Year | Parachute

I’m sick of cleaning up the mess you left behind 
What a way to start the new year 
On my hands and knees cleaning up the dirt and grime 
What a way to start the new year 

I’m sick of holding both ends of the tightrope 
Cause when you fall all that’s left is old high hopes for me 
Stretched thin to the end trying to keep it all in 
What a way to start the new year 

Won’t you say that it’s alright? 
Won’t you tell me it’s okay? 

Because there’s 364 more days 
I might be smiling but you’ll never even hear me say 
That I like it in the shadows 
Counting down to zero just to start again 
Oh what a way to start the new year 

Don’t get me wrong, I hate this holiday 
What a way to start the new year 
On my hands and knees, choosing what I have to say 
What a way to start the new year 
I never realized it could mean so much 
Just to go to bed later when we have to get up all the same, 
And we scream and clap for the end of what was and what we’ve become 

Won’t you say that it’s alright? 
Won’t you tell me it’s okay? 

Because we have 364 more days 
I might be smiling but you’ll never even hear me say 
That I like it in the shadows 
Counting down to zero just to start again 
Oh what a way to start the new year 

Was it really that bad? 
And could it be better? 
Well, I don’t know, but with you I still have hope 
That this could be my year 
364 more days, 1 million chances left to find you and to see your face
Making light out of the shadows, finally get to zero 
Maybe we’ll both say 
364 more days, 1 million chances left to find you and to see your face
Making light out of the shadows, finally get to zero 
Maybe we’ll both say 
What a way to start the new year

Parachute - The New Year

There are a few tracks from Parachute’s album that I have not been able to stop listening to recently. This is one of them. Originally I wasn’t huge on parts of the song and was really frustrated by the syllable placement and breaks in several parts. But the song has really grown on me and I’ve found myself singing it in my head far too frequently.

“364 more days”
