Aberdeen On New Years Eve

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 year’s 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 losing 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
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
Oh
Run, run faster
Run, run faster
This is the last night of this sorry lie
This is the last night of this second life
So run, run faster, my friend
