New Year Lyrics

You can keep it so will you?
It looks much better on you and anyway
Nowadays it’s getting colder than before
And I’ll shut up ‘cause maybe I am wrong
To feel so right but keep it locked up inside so long
You would help me see everything in color
And I know I could smile next to you
And I just can’t seem to get your face off my mind
And it seems like so long that it feels like forever
I remember
I can’t seem to shake this feeling off
And I can’t hold on
It seems like so long

I couldn’t tell her cause it’s been so long
It seems like forever
I can’t wait forever

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.

I love this song. It's about a guy that goes through a break - up, only to discover that even after all that time, he still loves her. But he "couldn't tell her cause it's been so long, it seems like forever." And he ended up just having to let her pass him by , but he never forgot her memory. Sad song. But, I love it. :-D

oh god, this song gives me the chills because its so beautiful. this band is so effing talented, i love it. my favorite part of this song is when he sings "you would help me see everything in color. and i know i could smile next to you." It doesnt get much more real than that.

This is my favorite song by Counterfit. If you can find it on one of the p2p networks try to find the first version of this song (all the same lyrics but has a garage band feel).
