Story Behind The Song
At the end of every year we review what we have done and where we want to be.
Song Description
Year end song about regrets and resolutions.
"Time often spends itself
with no concern for mental health.
Care how you expend your wealth
the last day of the year.
Longing and looking back,
major change there is no lack,
of sacred blessings, heart attacks,
the last day of the year.
Three cheers it's coming closer,
The new beginning You've been yearning.
Forward, keep falling forward.
The timing's right, you shouldn't fight it,
just be delighted.
Leave room for little doubt,
a lesson's learned, a whisper shouted.
Turn your mistakes inside out
the last day of the year.
Three cheers we made it this far,
it's all brand new, this point of view.
Heartstrings are played at midnight;
they're picked apart, in tune or off key.
It's clear can you see?
Push hard with all your might.
Our resolution starts tonight,
to find out where self-pity hides.
The last day of the year.
The last night of the year.
The last breath of the year.

Lyrics
Last Day Of The Year (2:48)
Time often spends itself
with no concern for mental health.
Care how you expend your wealth
the last day of the year.
Longing and looking back,
major change there is no lack,
of sacred blessings, heart attacks,
the last day of the year.
Three cheers it's coming closer,
The new beginning You've been yearning.
Forward, keep falling forward.
The timing's right, you shouldn't fight it,
just be delighted.
Leave room for little doubt,
a lesson's learned, a whisper shouted.
Turn your mistakes inside out
the last day of the year.
Three cheers we made it this far,
it's all brand new, this point of view.
Heartstrings are played at midnight;
they're picked apart, in tune or off key.
It's clear can you see?
Push hard with all your might.
Our resolution starts tonight,
to find out where self-pity hides.
The last day of the year.
The last night of the year.
The last breath of the year.
