New Year's Day Lyrics

I watch your parents throwing firecrackers in the night
Christmas is over and you are so completely out of sight

This is new year's day
What are you feeling?
This is new year's day
I'm staring at the ceiling

This is new year's day
Nothing has changed
This is new year's day
I'm quite the same

The post office is closed, I'm fucked
Answers blow through town
After the show I'm looking for you
But you're never around

Are you happy now?
This dusty sound
Are you happy now?
I'm losing grip on solid ground

This is new year's day
Nothing has changed
This is new year's day

All christmas lights are fading away, I light a cigarette and go to bed
Why don't you just disappear right now out of my head?

I'm trying to wake up
Are you here?
I'm trying to wake up
Come on lay down here

This is new year's day
Nothing has changed
This is new year's day

This is new year's day
What are you feeling?
This is new year's day
I'm staring at the ceiling

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
