New Year’s Day Lyrics – Taylor Swift
The closing track on reputation uses a New Year’s party as a metaphor to discuss holding on to people and memories from both good and bad times. Taylor recognizes that when the ‘parties’ in her life are over and the ‘new year’ begins, such memories are all she will have left to hold on to and learn from. She relates a lasting love to someone who shares a midnight kiss with you on New Year’s, but who still stays with you the next morning for the aftermath of the party and begins the new year together with you.| Song Name : | New Year’s Day |

There’s glitter on the floor after the partyGirls carrying their shoes down in the lobbyCandle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floorYou and me from the night before but
Don’t read the last pageBut I stay when you’re lost and I’m scared and you’re turning awayI want your midnightsBut I’ll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year’s Day
You squeeze my hand three times in the back of the taxiI can tell that it’s going to be a long roadI’ll be there if you’re the toast of the town babeOr if you strike out and you’re crawling home
Don’t read the last pageBut I stay when it’s hard or it’s wrong or you’re making mistakesI want your midnightsBut I’ll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year’s Day
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to youHold on to the memories, they will hold on to youHold on to the memories, they will hold on to youAnd I will hold on to you
Please don’t ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywherePlease don’t ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
There’s glitter on the floor after the partyGirls carrying their shoes down in the lobbyCandle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floorYou and me forevermore
Don’t read the last pageBut I stay when it’s hard or it’s wrong or we’re making mistakesI want your midnightsBut I’ll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year’s Day
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to youHold on to the memories, they will hold on to youHold on to the memories, they will hold on to youAnd I will hold on to you
Please don’t ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywherePlease don’t ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
