New Year
dotter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′ve been going under
Like snowflakes starts being frozen to the ground
The world's been in a slumber
And there has been no signs of waking up

But today come what may
I will wipe up my tears
For all of the ones that I love and hold near
I wish you a happy year

Oh, I wanna learn how to love again
To live and let go
Ooh, I wanna cry and laugh with all my friends
Oh, this year
I wanna dance, I wanna take all my chances
Hold your hand tight when it gets dark
Oh, I wanna wish you with all my heart
Happy New Year

I see you way out up the tunnel
The sun′s melting the ice right through my hands
So burn down all your sorrows
'Cause something always starts when something ends

But today come what may
I will wipe all my tears
For all of the ones that I love and hold near
I wish you a happy year

Oh, I wanna learn how to love again
To live and let go
Ooh, I wanna cry and laugh with all my friends
Oh, this year
I wanna dance, I wanna take all my chances
Hold your hand tight when it gets dark
Oh, I wanna wish you with all my heart
Happy New Year

I wanna learn how to love again (to love again), oh
I wanna learn how to love again
Oh, this year

I wanna dance, I wanna take all my chances
Hold your hand tight when it gets dark




Oh, I wanna wish you with all my heart
Happy New Year

I've been going under
I've felt like I've been sinking down


Like snowflakes starts being frozen to the ground
Like snowflakes sticking to the ground and being frozen, I've felt stuck in place


The world's been in a slumber
The world has felt like it's been asleep and inactive


And there has been no signs of waking up
There haven't been any indications of things changing or getting better


But today come what may
Despite whatever may happen today


I will wipe up my tears
I'll dry my tears


For all of the ones that I love and hold near
For all of the people I care about and am close to

I hope you have a happy year

I want to sincerely and wholeheartedly wish you a happy new year


I see you way out up the tunnel
I can see a light at the end of the tunnel


The sun's melting the ice right through my hands
Things are thawing out and starting to feel less frozen and stuck


So burn down all your sorrows
Let go of your past troubles and start anew


'Cause something always starts when something ends
Something new and hopeful can begin even when something else has ended
