It’s a quarter-past midnight
And these lips ain’t been kissed
And the smoke and the bar lights
Wondering what I missed
I guess I could call up the one I let go
Just to have someone to hold but I won’t
New year, same me
Running from love like there’s fire at my feet
I won’t get caught cuz I cut ’em all loose
You can’t get hurt when there’s nothing to lose
I’m not new here, it’s just a new year, same me
I know my mom’d be happy
If I’d just settle down
‘Stead of planting wildflower seeds
In the dust of this town
They say when it’s right with the right one you know
But if I found the right one, I’d just let him go
New year, same me
Running from love like there’s fire at my feet
I won’t get caught cuz I cut ’em all loose
You can’t get hurt when there’s nothing to lose
I’m not new here, it’s just a new year, same me
Don’t feel bad for me, baby
Ain’t like they’re not trying
But I made this lonely bed that I lie in
New year, same me
Running from love like there’s fire at my feet
I won’t get caught cuz I cut ’em all loose
You can’t get hurt when there’s nothing to lose
I’m not new here, it’s just a new year, same me
