New Years' Eve

Normally i’d be french-twisting my hair
And selecting the right earrings to wear

Oh it’s a special evening for most
and normally i’d be proposing a toast

But not this year

Because i’m here
(the party’s all around me)
You’re there
(indifference has found me)

So I know it’s not in fashion
Wearing heartbreak on your sleeve

But i’m here and you’re there
so who cares what i wear
on new year’s eve

Normally i’d be knee-deep in champagne
Kick my heels up until neighbors complain

It’s such a glamorous evening for most
(And normally i’d be upstaging the host)

But not this year

Because i’m here
(the party’s all around me)
You’re there
(indifference has found me)

I know i should have dressed up
But i just can’t make believe

Now i’m here
and you’re there
so who cares
what i wear
on new year’s eve

If you’re sleèping with some other girl tonight
I’m not sleeping with some other guy

I just keep thinking how last year at midnight
you blew me away
With the resolution that you made

I’m here
(the party’s all around me)
You’re there
(indifference has found me)

Tonight before the ball drops
I’ll grab my coat and leave

I’m here and you’re there
so who cares
what the fuck do i wear
on new year’s eve
