New Year’s Eve Lyrics

[Verse 1: Klara]
Well it's a new year
With it comes new hope and new fears
Met a young man who was in tears, he asked me
"What induces us to stay here?"

I said, "I don't know much and I'm not lying
But I think you just have to keep on trying."

[Chorus: Klara & Johanna]
And I know I am naive, but if anything
That's what's going to save me
That's what's going to save me


[Verse 2: Klara]
Took a stroll around the neighbourhood
Where the trees are swaying
People passed in cars with their windows down
With a pop song playing
A man walked by rocking back and forth the street
With a drunken smile to go along
He stopped to look at me and said
"Child, don't fear doing things wrong."


[Chorus: Klara & Johanna]
Yet I am still afraid but if anything
That's what's going to save me
That's what's going to save me
[Verse 3: Klara]
Now I have a lot to learn and I'm starting tonight
Got to stop looking at things like they're black and they're white
Got to write more songs, love a little more, treat my friends better
Got to stop worrying about everything to the letter

And sometimes when it's too hard to get on
It just might be you that I'll call upon

[Chorus: Klara & Johanna]
But I find it hard to believe, but if anything
That's what's going to save me
That's what's going to save me

[Outro: Klara & Johanna]
Tell me, tell me
Oh, what's going to save me?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
