[Verse 1] Old calendar on the floor Coffee ring on December Same tired doubts at the door Still Something says remember Street’s half-quiet Half-alive Fireworks tucked in pockets I’m counting scars I survived Like cracks in stubborn granite [Chorus] Raise a glass to the ghosts that fade All the weight that we almost stayed Midnight reset Let the old year bleed Out of my veins Out of my reach I’m not perfect I’m still here Soft and stubborn Another year Midnight reset As the sky turns white I choose myself in the smoke and light [Verse 2] Friend texting “you coming out?” I’m halfway laced in my boots Half in fear and half in doubt But tired of growing roots TV counting down the time Faces shouting in the glow I kill the sound Clear my mind Step outside into the snow [Chorus] Raise a glass to the ghosts that fade All the weight that we almost stayed Midnight reset Let the old year bleed Out of my veins Out of my reach I’m not perfect I’m still here Soft and stubborn Another year Midnight reset As the sky turns white I choose myself in the smoke and light [Bridge] Ten Nine I’m breathing slow (hey!) Eight Seven I let it go Every number Something shed Old regrets I’ve overfed Six Five I make a vow Four Three To live right now Two One I lift my eyes See hope in every firefly [Chorus] Raise a glass to the ghosts that fade All the weight that we almost stayed Midnight reset Let the old year bleed Out of my veins Out of my reach I’m not perfect I’m still here Soft and stubborn Another year Midnight reset As the sky turns white I choose myself in the smoke and light
