I know I really oughtta go back home
But I know you're probably there
The fact that you can sleep through this seems so unfair

I wanna believe you when you say
Everything will be okay
But all I really want right now is for you to stay

(chorus)
Despite all the reasons
I give you not to leave
You still go
So will you complete me
Or will you defeat me
When you call

The nostalgic misconception that the new year brings new life
Can make the saddest man feel confident that everything might be alright
But when the sun comes up on the first new day
Will I still have a reason to finally wake
Will you still be beside me where I lay
Will you be mine

(bridge)
(chorus)
