2009 (Album Version) Lyrics
I keep on my shoulders the weight of the world
But I broke when you asked for a ride
I’ll be outside
I guess you’re just bored and you’re boring like me
And if you don’t keep me happy someone will
I’ll be all right
I didn't know there’s a roller-coaster in town
Been gone too long
I’m prepared for the ups and downs
But sometimes
Yeah, sometimes you wanna get off
I’ll never feel the same again
But I wouldn't re-write anything
Let’s hope your resolution’s made
Yeah
A minute to midnight,
And I’m bailing out.
Nothing to kiss but pavement now
We’re counting down
I can’t believe I used to like losing to you
And if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em, then
That’s what you said
Where are your friends
Who are you gonna tell
Been gone too long
I guess the time alone will do you well
I’ll never feel the same again
But I wouldn't re-write anything
Let’s hope your resolution’s made
Happy New Year, you’re dead to me
Now that I've set the record straight
This is my holiday
This is my holiday
I’ll never feel the same again
But I wouldn't re-write anything
Let’s hope your resolution’s made
Happy New Year, you’re dead to me
Now that I've set the record straight
This is my holiday
But I broke when you asked for a ride
I’ll be outside
And if you don’t keep me happy someone will
I’ll be all right
Been gone too long
I’m prepared for the ups and downs
But sometimes
Yeah, sometimes you wanna get off
But I wouldn't re-write anything
Let’s hope your resolution’s made
Yeah
And I’m bailing out.
Nothing to kiss but pavement now
We’re counting down
And if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em, then
That’s what you said
Where are your friends
Who are you gonna tell
Been gone too long
I guess the time alone will do you well
But I wouldn't re-write anything
Let’s hope your resolution’s made
Happy New Year, you’re dead to me
Now that I've set the record straight
This is my holiday
This is my holiday
But I wouldn't re-write anything
Let’s hope your resolution’s made
Happy New Year, you’re dead to me
Now that I've set the record straight
This is my holiday

2009: The first track on the record. It's about that moment when you realize that most people are only designed to let you down, so you actually make a resolution to start living for yourself and eliminate everything that might get in your path. This is going to be your year. "Happy New Year, you're dead to me."
