You're a senior double major

You got such big ideas

We were searching for a savior

To guide us through those restless years



If only I could steal you away

From those paths we were led astray

I would take back all those things I said

That new year's day

If only I could make you see

That all those dreams belonged to me

I'd take back all those things I said

That new year's day



The October autumn twilight

The chilling of our breath

I had dreams I've found redemption

And a past full of regret

And the clouds on the horizon

Look like a thousand paper cranes

And I heard your voice

But couldn't scream your name



If only I could steal you away

From those paths were led astray

I would take back all those things I said

That new year's day

If only I could make you see

That all those dreams belonged to me

I'd take back all those things I said

That new year's day



So let's drink to forgiveness

Let's drink for regret

Let's drink to the ones we've loved and lost

Let us never forget

The mannequin shields her glowing eyes

We'll all too human, yeah

We're always searching on

Until that gift of isolation has been won



If only I could steal you away

From those paths were led astray

I would take back all those things I said

That new year's day

If only I could make you see

That all those dreams belonged to me

I'm haunting them the way you know you're haunting me

If only I could steal you away

From those paths were led astray

I would take back all those things I said

That new year's day

That new year's day
