You're a senior double major,
You got such big ideas.
We were searching for a savior,
To guide us through those restless years.

If only I could steal you away,
From those paths we were led astray.
I would take back all those things I said,
That new year's day.
If only I could make you see,
That all those dreams belonged to me.
I'd take back all those things I said,
That new year's day.

The October autumn twilight.
The chilling of our breath.
I had dreams I've found redemption,
And a past full of regret.
And the clouds on the horizon,
Look like a thousand paper cranes.
And I heard your voice,
But couldn't scream your name.

If only I could steal you away,
From those paths we were led astray.
I would take back all those things I said,
That new year's day.
If only I could make you see,
That all those dreams belonged to me.
I'd take back all those things I said,
That new year's day.

So let's drink to forgiveness.
Let's drink for regret.
Let's drink to the ones we've loved and lost.
Let us never forget.
The mannequin shields her glowing eyes.
We'll all too human, yeah.
We're always searching on,
Until that gift of isolation has been won.

If only I could steal you away,
From those paths were led astray.
I would take back all those things I said,
That new year's day.
If only I could make you see,
That all those dreams belonged to me.
I'm haunting them the way you know you're haunting me.
If only I could steal you away,
From those paths were led astray.
I would take back all those things I said,
That new year's day.
That new year's day.
