Chinese New Year
from Short Stories Vol. II by Suitcase Runaway
lyrics
I went up to you because the alcohol went through me.
Pretty flowers and paper streamers, I think it was New Year's Eve.
I don't know how I got there,
I was pushed in by the crowd.
People moving around the room while you and I claimed the couch.
I don't know where I belong,
But it seemed like you needed a friend to me.
Bottle rockets in rusty stairwells keeping up the excitement.
Climbing down to the first story as our shoes fly across the cement.
Paper lanterns light the streets red,
And the stars remind us we're not gods.
Misty city, save my soul! Scare the spirits and send us love.
I don't know where I belong.
I don't know where I went wrong.
Who we are is who we want to be.
In the dark!
Pretty flowers and paper streamers, I think it was New Year's Eve.
I don't know how I got there,
I was pushed in by the crowd.
People moving around the room while you and I claimed the couch.
I don't know where I belong,
But it seemed like you needed a friend to me.
Bottle rockets in rusty stairwells keeping up the excitement.
Climbing down to the first story as our shoes fly across the cement.
Paper lanterns light the streets red,
And the stars remind us we're not gods.
Misty city, save my soul! Scare the spirits and send us love.
I don't know where I belong.
I don't know where I went wrong.
Who we are is who we want to be.
In the dark!
