First Aid Kit New Year’s Eve song lyrics

Well it's a new year

With it comes new hope and new fear

Met a young man who was in tears

He asked me what induces us to stay here

I said I don't know much

And I'm not lying

But I think you just have to keep on trying

And I know I am naïve

But if anything

That's what's going to save me

That's what's going to save me

Took a stroll around the neighborhood

Where the trees are swaying

People pass in cars with their windows down

With a pop song playing

A man walked by

Rocking back and forth the street

With a drunken smile to go along

He stopped to look at me and said

"Child, don't fear doing things wrong"

Yet I am still afraid

But if anything

That's what's going to save me

That's what's going to save me

Now I have a lot to learn and I'm starting tonight

Gotta stop looking at things like they're black and they're white

Gotta write more songs, love a little more, treat my friends better,

Gotta stop worrying about everything to the letter

And sometimes when it's too hard to get on

It just might be you that I'll come upon

But I find it hard to believe

But if anything

That's what's going to save

That's what's going to save me

Tell me tell me

Oh what's going to save me
