You tattoo the failures on On to your length of arm They may run wrist to shoulder blade Whether my badges of Honor you lost in love Savin' the tale of the child that failed for another day This will be a totally new year [Chorus] Don't let the pouring rain Temper your day-by-day Don't let the bones the closet may hold Get in the way After a long dark night Bathe in the morning light Then take your return The lesson you learned: You'll get it right This is where we begin Feels like an ending Say it with no pretense I'm tired of pretending You know that life won't wait You'll have to make your move The choices you make, every awful mistake Will try to define you This will be a totally new year [Chorus] This will be a totally new year [Chorus, then repeat last two lines
