P.S also sorry you might need to pause the song to read the story part.

Today's new years.

Tonight, the apple falls in Time

I'll wake up tomorrow with a new.

We'll sing along with Auld Lang Syne
And throw confetti high up into space
Tomorrow morning when we wake
This town will be a different place
And the past will wash away like coffee stains

But I won't feel new. I'll wake up, and it'll be like yesterday. It's not like last year did anything new. I woke up, January first of XXXX and I felt..

The same.

We could be kings of the world
On top of the nation
It's a celebration of the moments to come
The city's on fire
We're holding up lighters
Raising them higher and we've only begun

People on twitter are already doing flashback pictures of the years accomplishments. I'll be home, staring at the drawings I've hidden from the light. I'd then start another, just to have something else to hide. To show myself that when people say 'you can do better' that I've already done better.

Take me all the way
Hear me when I say
Let's kiss the past away
Like New Year's Day
Take me all the way
Hear me when I say
It's time to celebrate
Like New Year's Day

"I'll see you in XXXX!" Say hello to my naive perfectly happily teachers.

Another year will dim devine
We'll play it back in slow rewind
And laugh about the cold and bitter nights
We're route our way on maps of stars
Hold on tight to fragile hearts
And keep our friends forever by our side

I'll hear cheers when it turns 12:00 and obnoxious fireworks. I'll read people on instagram talk about the next year's hopes and wishes.

'I'll rule the next year!'

We could be kings of the world
On top of the nation
It's a celebration of the moments to come
The city's on fire
We're holding up lighters
Raising them higher and we've only begun

I'll welcome the darkness of my room with open arms and hide under the blankets. I'll dim the flashlight and go over my own accomplishments.

I'll lay out my own drawings, paintings and sketches, then look at the mistakes.

Take me all the way
Hear me when I say
Let's kiss the past away
Like New Year's Day
Take me all the way
Hear me when I say
It's time to celebrate
Like New Year's Day

My mom will be at some party, and my dad will be mourning or celebrating whatever happened to his football team. The only company I will have is myself and my cat sleeping on the clean folded clothes downstairs.

Morning breaks, take my hand
Wide awake with arms wide open
Catch your breath, walk this way
No regrets on New Year's Day
Morning breaks, take my hand
(Kings of the world, top of the nation)
Wide awake with arms wide open
(It's a celebration of the moments to come)
Catch your breath, walk this way
(City's on fire, holding up lighters)
No regrets on New Year's Day
(Raising them higher, we've only begun)

RING RING

"Hello?" I don't bother to look at the caller ID.

"Dude! Where are you?! Come on, the parties starting without you. Don't tell me your skipping out again?!"

I glanced at the art.

We could be kings of the world
On top of the nation
It's a celebration of the moments to come
The city's on fire
We're holding up lighters
Raising them higher and we've only begun

"I'm coming." I stood up and peeled my eyes off the past.

As I hung up, I was out the door.

Take me all the way
Hear me when I say
Let's kiss the past away
Like New Year's Day
Take me all the way
Hear me when I say
It's time to celebrate
Like New Year's Day (x2)

"Bruh! Where have you been?!"

I smiled and hugged back.

"I've been at a place where I'm no longer going to be at."
