Aberdeen On New Years Eve

I melt your words into thoughts and worries
swallow my tongue in a sigh
Salty taste uh
My eyes shut, so give me courage
to lead through this stormy night
This last night of the year
brought tears and weary eyes

And oh the things I do to myself
Oh like I'm punishing someone else
When all I do is keep losing myself

I ran through the city in the blistering cold
followed by the neon lights
Run run faster! Should have known
there's no escape from your ghosts on a new years night
This last sigh of the year
No fireworks in sight

And oh the things I do to myself
Oh like I'm acting as someone else
When all I do is keep bruising myself

This is the last night of this sorry lie
this is the last night of this second life
You need to grow and learn to love what you've earned

Oh the things I do to myself
Oh I keep blaming everyone else
When all I do is keep fooling myself
