[Verse 1]
Same old calendar on my wall
Dates crossed out like old mistakes
Pack my youth in a cardboard box
Leave it by the garden gate
I’ve been chasing time
Time chased me
Running round this one small town
Tonight I toast the years that passed
And I finally set them down (set them down)
[Chorus]
Happy New Year
Bless the fire
Let the smoke carry all my fears higher
I’m done with acting like I’m still sixteen
I’ll find love and I’ll smoke more green
Happy New Year
Feel it turning
New kind of heart
Same herbs still burning
I don’t need much
Just truth and peace
More love
More light
More trees
[Verse 2]
Met my reflection in the glass
And asked myself
“What i really need?”
I said
“Someone who laughs too loud
And forgets the sound
So I roll my hopes in paper thin
Light it up forget the sound
Promise I’ll let someone in
Even if they see my scars (see my scars)
[Chorus]
Happy New Year
Bless the fire
Let the smoke carry all my fears higher
I’m done with acting like I’m still sixteen
I’ll find love and I’ll smoke more green
Happy New Year
Feel it turning
New kind of heart
Same herbs still burning
I don’t need much
Just truth and peace
More love
More light
More trees
[Bridge]
If I find you at sunrise
Eyes still red
We can laugh about the old lives we both shed
Share this spliff and a slow confession
New year
Same soul
Just a better direction
[Chorus]
Happy New Year
Bless the fire
Let the smoke carry all my fears higher
I’m done with acting like I’m still sixteen
I’ll find love and I’ll smoke more green
Happy New Year
Feel it turning
New kind of heart
Same herbs still burning
I don’t need much
Just truth and peace
More love
More light
More trees
