lyrics

Each time the tide comes to the shore it tries to hold on to the beach
I watch its hands slide down the sand as if it's trying to escape
Or is it trying to take my name from everybody's mouth
Maybe one day I'll grab its hand and let it pull me down

New Year's Eve and I would like
To resolute to ostracize
The life left in my eyes until it leaves
San Francisco's bridge is high
The bay is far below and I
Will leap off with my heart tied to my feet
Here's hoping this'll be my last New Year's Eve

The sun was leaving so I chased it to the California shore
Got in a boat and sailed to Asia trailing day ahead of night
As I kept moving towns and people were a siren's cry
I don't exist now I'm an idea floating in the light

New Year's Eve and I would like
To resolute to ostracize
The life left in my eyes until it leaves
San Francisco's bridge is high
The bay is far below and I
Will leap off when the shaking leaves my knees
Here's hoping this'll be my last New Year's Eve

Burlington is cold tonight
It's greatest trees hold tires and cry alone
The children grown no longer swing
Here's hoping this'll be my last New Year's Eve
Here's hoping this'll be my last New Year's Eve
