New Year’s Eve - First Aid Kit

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 am 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 to go 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?
