about

"Three be the things I shall never attain: Envy, content, and sufficient champagne." - Dorothy Parker

lyrics

I'm wearing black on New Year's Eve
Cause that's the night you're gonna leave
You've gone to fall in love again
With your familiar little friend

I'll be a continent away
Three hours more for me to pray
He gets so stoned that he don't know
You're waiting by the mistletoe

He's wearing red on New Year's Eve
So confident that you won't leave
Despite that episode last fall
That boy you weren't supposed to call

If he was even half the man
Perhaps then I might understand
Why he's deserving of your heart
He's been neglecting from the start

Some raise a glass, I'll raise a fist
To all the right decisions missed
Never really thought I stood a chance
But how you smiled that time we danced

One thousand resolutions past
Each one less likely than the last
You're wearing blue on New Year's Day
It doesn't have to be this way
