A commonplace, a restaurant An old jukebox playing that song You moved away for the Ivy League But I heard you’re coming back new year's eve We count down from 4, don’t turn away You were put on earth to keep me safe If I’m on the floor, stay close to me Let your shadow pull the light from my face On new year's day I meet your eyes from across the room Through my shirt, my heart pounds through I asked you if, you wanted to dance Set down your drink, and held out your hand We count down from 4, don’t turn away You were put on earth to keep me safe If I’m on the floor, stay close to me Let your shadow pull the light from my face On new year's day On new year's day You know the score, I know the play If I’m on the floor stay close to me We countdown from 4, don’t turn away You were put on earth to keep me safe We walk out the door and disappear Its even better than it was in my head We countdown from 4 We countdown from 4 It's even better than it was in my head Maybe we could start something new On new year's day Maybe we could start something new
