New Years Eve Lyrics
Clip my angels wings
I'm a coward, I'm a liar and a cheat
My vows all means nothing, I'm weaker than a priest
Board up the windows and lock all the doors
Like a hurricane I'm always given a new name
Board up the windows and lock all the doors
Head for the hills get somewhere safe
The further you go the better off you'll be
I'm clear as glass but I can seem to ever clean
The fingerprints you left on me
I wish every night was new year's eve
So this Irish disease could have company
Who the fuck would want to live forever
When everyday feels like it's been a week
Call on the archers and let down the gate
Hell must be a view watching everyone you knew
Move on without you like you never lived
I'm just like my father as lonely as sin
Drinking away what I've been given
I'm clear as glass but I can seem to ever clean
The fingerprints you left on me
I wish every night was new year's eve
So this Irish disease could have company
I hate myself for
Never saying
That I
Want you in my life
But it's not my place to keep on trying to chase
A relationship that's not there
But if I don't then I know that you won't even dare
I'm clear as glass but I can seem to ever clean
The fingerprints you left on me
I wish every night was new year's eve
So this Irish disease could have company
I'm a coward, I'm a liar and a cheat
My vows all means nothing, I'm weaker than a priest
Board up the windows and lock all the doors
Like a hurricane I'm always given a new name
Board up the windows and lock all the doors
Head for the hills get somewhere safe
The further you go the better off you'll be
The fingerprints you left on me
I wish every night was new year's eve
So this Irish disease could have company
When everyday feels like it's been a week
Call on the archers and let down the gate
Hell must be a view watching everyone you knew
Move on without you like you never lived
I'm just like my father as lonely as sin
Drinking away what I've been given
The fingerprints you left on me
I wish every night was new year's eve
So this Irish disease could have company
Never saying
That I
Want you in my life
A relationship that's not there
But if I don't then I know that you won't even dare
The fingerprints you left on me
I wish every night was new year's eve
So this Irish disease could have company

First off, in the chorus it's "Irish disease", not "Irish curse"
Anyway, the chorus says a lot.
"I'm clear as glass but I can't ever seem to clean The fingerprints you left on me I wish every night was New Years Eve So this Irish disease could have company"
It's about trying to escape the negative effect his father left on him but he doesn't think he can. Also it is about his alcoholism, and the loneliness it makes him feel sometimes hence he "wishes every night was New Years Eve so this Irish disease (alcoholism) could have company." So he's saying if every night was NYE he wouldn't be drinking alone and other people would join him.
"I hate myself for never saying that i want you in my life But it's not my place to keep on trying to chase a relationship that's not there But if I don't then I know that you won't even dare"
He is trying to reach out to his father because he never did, but he feels like it probably wouldn't matter anyway.
Wow this song is absolutely amazing. I can't wait for the album! Senses Fail continues to amaze.
Not totally sure what this is all about, some of it is about alcoholism though. It also hints at not asking someone out.
My favorite song off the new album, and probably from all of them. They really outdone themselves this time.
Some of the lyrics are wrong, like the chorus. It's "I'm clear as glass but I can't seem to ever clean", and "Irish disease", not "Irish curse"
Pretty sure this is about his dad.
I agree that this song could be about his dad,saying that his father is living in hell cause he watches all his family and friends move on and try and forget about him. Also it makes sense that Buddy is upset he didn't tell his dad he wanted him in his life. However I don't understand the chorus very much
This song is so powerful. I think it might be about Buddy trying not to become like his father. Also who the fuck writes these lyrics. Almost every song off the new album has incorrect lyrics on here. Senses Fail. <33
"I'm clear as glass and I can't seem to ever clean, the fingerprints you left on me," is a really powerful saying, in my opinion. Everybody leaves fingerprints on glass, theoretically and figuratively. Everyone leaves an imprint on another person and I think that is what they are trying to say, but more poetic. If your song doesn't leave people thinking, then you probably didn't do that good of a job writing it, and Senses Fail has always left me pondering and translating their lyrics in my own way.
