[Verse]
The ball drops slow like a heartbeat low
Glitter falls
But it doesn’t show
My face
My thoughts
This crowded room
Strangers bloom where shadows loom
[Prechorus]
They’re laughing loud
I’m drifting soft
A satellite that's lost
Aloft
[Chorus]
Alone on New Year’s Eve
Among strangers
I can't believe
Cheers erupt
But I can’t leave
Alone on New Year’s Eve
[Verse 2]
Plastic flutes and sparkling lies
A thousand stars in their borrowed skies
The countdown roars
But I whisper still
Time’s a thief
And it always will
[Prechorus]
A hundred faces
None I know
The clock ticks fast
I’m moving slow
[Chorus]
Alone on New Year’s Eve
Among strangers
I can’t believe
Fireworks fade
But I still grieve
Alone on New Year’s Eve
