We saw summer fade to fall
But were tempted to forget it all
Another year older while we've grown no wiser
Let's wake in time to catch the sunlight right before it retreats behind the treeline
Half the world is waiting for a chance to catch their breath
While you're lying in your bed smoking all those cigarettes
And you're wondering if your life will ever be worth it
Hey, hey it's not my fault
We chose to waste away another year
We're sickened by the thought
Hey, hey it's not your fault
We want to make ammends but we're so shaken by the cost
Half the world was sleeping while we laid awake in bed
We were thinking the resolutions that we made in our heads
How beautifully spoken but how easily broken
We kept them as tokens for proof of better days
Oh we got chills despite the heatwave that kept us in our homes
It felt just like new years day and I did not want to be alone
And it felt like being new, after years of being used
Oh it felt like truth had just shown through
Hey, hey it's not my fault
We chose to waste away another year
We're sickened by the thought
Hey, hey it's not your fault
We want to make ammends but we're so shaken by the cost
It's like we've been sleeping for years
Caught in a daze that has kept us here
It's like we've been sleeping for years but we just woke up
(Happy New Year, Hallelujah)
It's like we've been dead for years
Stunted by debilitating fears
It's like we've dead years but we just woke up
(Happy New Year, Hallelujah)
We picked ourselves up off the floor
We found what we were looking for
We kicked the fucking door down and screamed
(Happy New New Year, Hallelujah!)
"It's the first time in a long time, happy new year
It's the first time I've seen sunlight, happy new year"
