Verse 1 Gears are humming, kettles sing Copper wires dance on springs Winding dreams with every turn Old regrets I let them burn Polish brass and set the dial Every cog has missed me a while Tick-tock hearts and piston cheers Counting down the brand new year Pre-Chorus Dust off yesterday Oil the doubt away I’m not late, I’m right on time Watch the future realign Chorus Spin it forward, strike the chime Out with rust and in with shine I built tomorrow bolt by bolt Hope runs hot on steam and volt Raise a glass, let whistles roar New year knocking at my door Verse 2 Blueprints scattered, sparks fly bright Midnight brewed by candlelight Every flaw a lovely scar Proof of how ingenious we are I don’t need perfect to begin Just a spark and stubborn grin Set it loose, let magic steer Hello there, my shining year Final Chorus Spin it forward, strike the chime Out with rust and in with shine What I was is not the end I rebuild, I rise, I mend Hear the gears and feel the cheer I’m ready now, new year, new gear
