FIRST AID KIT - New Year’s Eve

Well it’s a New Year, with it comes more than new fears
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’m naive, 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 passed in cars with their windows down, with a pop song playing
A man walked by, walking back and forth the street
With a drunken smile he took home along
He stopped to look at me and say, “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
Got to stop looking at things like they’re black and they’re white
Got to write more songs of a little more, treat my friends better
Got to stop worrying about everything to the letter
And sometimes when it’s too hard to get up
It just might be a little call apart.

But I find it hard to believe, but if anything
That’s what’s going to save me
That’s what’s going to save me
Tell me, tell me
Oh, what’s going to save me?
