[Intro] Count it down Ten hearts One sound Breath held World held [Verse 1] Last page of the calendar Coffee going cold List of the almosts Folded in my coat Street outside is buzzing Ticking like a clock We’ve been spinning in our circles Scared to stop But your hand finds mine at eleven fifty-eight You laugh Say "Let it all be late" All the broken plans All the almost starts We can lay them down now Light a new spark [Pre-Chorus] Every second Heavy as a year Every heartbeat Drums in my ears If the past comes knocking We won’t hear [Chorus] Raise your glass This is our midnight crown Let the old year crumble Let the walls fall down We’ve been buried in the maybe But we’re breaking out Five Four Three Two Shout it loud This is our time Our time Our time right now Ringing in the new year Like a battle vow [Verse 2] TV in the corner Strangers in the square Confetti on the carpet Glitter in your hair Phone full of messages Ghosts from other days But your eyes say “forward” And I look the same way We got scars like maps We got names we’ve erased We got dreams in boxes Labeled “someday” Rip the tape wide open Scatter every doubt Turn the living room To a launching pad now [Pre-Chorus] Every second Burning like a flare Every promise Hanging in the air If the fear starts talking Leave it there [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] Twelve strikes Breath tight What if we fall again? What if the dark returns Right where we began? [crescendo] Then you count with me "One for every time we rose Two for every slammed door Three for every almost" Voices from the windows Echo down the block A thousand tiny courage notes Rattling the lock [Chorus] [Outro] [whispered vocals] Ten… we’re still here Nine… pull me near Eight… we won’t bow Seven Six Take a vow Spill the light On this crowded ground New year ringing Like a war drum sound One breath One step Our midnight crown
