Happy New Year
Former Vandal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You won′t be home for new years
You packed a bag and you skipped town
You walked away said it's more than you can take
You won′t be home for new year

We haven't spoken since last year
You got your things and you moved out
It's so sad to say but I don′t love you quite the same
So we haven′t spoken since last year

I'm 3 ticks short hands in my trenchcoat,
You were always second to had this midnight heavy, a heavy on my chest
Through better wishes and softer kisses I was always moments behind,
Happy new year honey,
Oh dry your eyes, oh dry your eyes my blue goodbye

You won′t be home come monday
You found a way out or around
Luck or dismay, I was only in the way
No you won't be home come monday

And these strangers in the your
Living room they count the seconds out,
A toast to progress and never let′s clink your glasses loud
My spirits in my living room they say your words aloud,
A toast to solid to the guest that take the bottle down, down, down

I'm 3 ticks short hands in my trenchcoat,
You were always second to had this midnight heavy, a heavy on my chest
Through better wishes and softer kisses I was always moments behind,
Happy new year honey, oh dry your eyes,
Oh dry your eyes, happy new year Honey,
Oh dry your eyes, oh dry your eyes,




Happy new year honey, oh dry your eyes,
Oh dry your eyes, my blue goodbye

You won't be home for new years
You're leaving and won't be back for the new year


You packed a bag and you skipped town
You left without so much as a goodbye or a note

You've had enough and you can't take it anymore


You won't be home for new year
You won't be coming back anytime soon


We haven't spoken since last year
We haven't talked since the year before


You got your things and you moved out
You gathered your belongings and left for good


It's so sad to say but I don′t love you quite the same
It's hard to admit, but I don't feel the same love for you anymore


So we haven't spoken since last year
That's why we haven't spoken since before the new year


I'm 3 ticks short hands in my trenchcoat
I'm anxiously waiting, pacing around in my coat


You were always second to had this midnight heavy, a heavy on my chest
Being with you often feels like a burden, a weight on my chest


Through better wishes and softer kisses I was always moments behind
Despite my best efforts, I always fell short in expressing my love for you


Happy new year honey
Wishing you a happy new year despite our situation


Oh dry your eyes, oh dry your eyes my blue goodbye
Stop crying, this is our goodbye, tinged with sadness


You won′t be home come monday
You've found a new place and won't be back by Monday


You found a way out or around
You've plotted a way of escape


Luck or dismay, I was only in the way
I may have been a hindrance, a reason for you to leave


No you won't be home come monday
Our paths won't cross again anytime soon


And these strangers in the your
These people are strangers to me, but they're in your living room


Living room they count the seconds out
They're counting down to the start of the new year in your living room


A toast to progress and never let's clink your glasses loud
They raise a glass to progress and make a quiet toast


My spirits in my living room they say your words aloud
I'm alone in my living room, but I hear your words in my head


A toast to solid to the guest that take the bottle down, down, down
I make a toast to the guests who are drinking the night away


Happy new year honey, oh dry your eyes
I'm wishing you a happy new year, despite our breakup


Oh dry your eyes, happy new year Honey
Stop crying and embrace the new year, my love


Oh dry your eyes, oh dry your eyes
It's time to stop crying and move on


Happy new year honey, oh dry your eyes
Let's ring in the new year with hope and positivity


Oh dry your eyes, my blue goodbye
Stop crying, this is our goodbye, mixed with sadness
