New Year
L A Y L A Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

From the first time I saw your eyes,
I have to admit I was hypnotized.
I never thought we'd feel this way,
It's getting better with every day.

Everyone before I felt so used,
With each time I'd turn to booze.
But with you I'm completely new,
That's why I'm so glad I met you.

Reminisce of our new years kiss,
To me it was a moment bliss.
It's now a memory I'd hate to miss,
I'll never forget our new years kiss.

From first at last I saw your eyes,
My mind admits I'm hypnotized.
I think about you all the time,
How often am I on your mind.

Reminisce of our new years kiss,
To me it was a moment bliss.




It's now a memory I'd hate to miss,
I'll never forget our new years kiss.

Lyrics
First day of new year
Nothing's changed
Still feeling broken
Still want the same
First day of new year
Brush off the past
Farewell ambition
You never last
Hi lovers lost behind us
Hi lessons we failed to learn
Hi those who tried to mold us
And change us for the worst
You can't cover over holes
And you can't burrow deeper down
Yeah you're gonna be somebody
Yeah you're gonna be somebody
Yeah you're gonna be somebody

White brisk midwinter
Solstice gone
Promise of rebirth
Write fractured song
Can't flee from our bygones
No shaking off the truth
Just the first understanding
Of what we had to lose

You can't cover over holes
And you can't burrow deeper down
Yeah you're gonna be somebody
Yeah you're gonna be somebody
Yeah you're gonna be somebody
Yeah you're gonna be somebody
Yeah you're gonna be somebody
Yeah you're gonna be somebody
Yeah you're gonna be somebody
Yeah you're gonna be somebody
Yeah you're gonna be somebody
Yeah you're gonna be somebody
Yeah you're gonna be somebody

To everyone.
Yes this is Josephine from Oh Wonder
Anthony West produced this track
Before oh wonder Josie was a solo named LAYLA
Anthony used to be in a band called the futures and then they split up and he made a duo with someone else.
during that time somebody told Josephine to get Anthony to produce some songs for her
Yes this track is beautiful

Every end of the year I always come back and play this song on repeat... hoping the time
will come that I can finally say that I’m healed.

I’m still not over at the extent of how impactful this song is. Her voice is so beautiful and the lyrics are so emotional and puts the words into such a simple but complicated way. I’ve felt down for a while now and honestly this song has helped hugely. I’m so glad I found your music and oh wonder!
