Clean - Long Live - New Years Day

[Verse 1: Clean]    The drought was the very worst Oh-oh oh-oh    When the flowers that we’d grown together died of thirst   It was months and months of back and forth Oh-oh oh-oh [Pre-Chorus: Clean] Hung my head as I lost the war And the sky turned black like a perfect storm [Chorus: Clean]   Rain came pouring down When I was drowning that’s when I could finally breathe And by morning Gone was any trace of you I think I am finally clean I think I am finally clean [Verse 1: Long Live] I said remember this moment in the back of my mind The time we stood with our shaking hands The crowds in the stands went wild We were the Kings and the Queens And they read off our names The night you danced like you knew our lives Would never be the same You held your head like a hero On a history book page It was the end of a decade   But the start of an age [Chorus: Long Live] Long live the walls we crashed through All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you I was screaming long live all the magic we made And bring on all the pretenders I’m not afraid Long live all the mountains we moved I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you I was screaming long live that look on your face And bring on all the pretenders One day we will be remembered [Bridge: Long Live] Hold on to spinning around Confetti falls to the ground May these memories break our fall [Transition: New Year’s Day] And hold on... To spinning around... Confetti... Falls to the ground... [Verse 1: New Year’s Day] There’s glitter on the floor after the party    Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby    Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor You and me from the night before but [Chorus: New Year’s Day]   Don’t read the last page   But I stay when you’re lost and I’m scared And you’re turning away I want your midnights   But I’ll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year’s Day [Verse 2: New Year’s Day] You squeeze my hand three times in the back of the taxi    I can tell that it’s gonna be a long road      I’ll be there if you’re the toast of the town babe     Or if you strike out and you’re crawling home [Chorus: New Year’s Day]   Don’t read the last page   But I stay when it’s hard or it’s wrong Or we’re making mistakes I want your midnights   But I’ll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year’s Day [Post-Chorus: New Year’s Day] Hold on      to the memories they will hold on to you   Hold on to the memories they will hold on to you   Hold on to the memories they will hold on to you         And I will hold on to you [Bridge: New Year’s Day] Please don’t ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere Please don’t ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere [Verse 3: New Year’s Day] There’s glitter on the floor after the party    Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby    Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor You and me from the night before but [Chorus: New Year’s Day]   Don’t read the last page   But I stay when you’re lost and I’m scared And you’re turning away I want your midnights   But I’ll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year’s Day [Post-Chorus: New Year’s Day] Hold on      to the memories they will hold on to you   Hold on to the memories they will hold on to you   Hold on to the memories they will hold on to you [Transition: Long Live] And Long live (Please don’t ever become a stranger) The walls we crashed through (Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere) I had the time of my life (Please don’t ever become a stranger) With you (Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere) [Outro: Long Live] And Long live The walls we crashed through I had the time of my life With you
