Spent a lonely day on an empty street
Perfect hideaway for a New Year's Eve
Spent a lonely year at ambition's grave
But I'm free and clear on New Year's Day

And I wonder where you've been
Where we're going all this time
In these same old shoes
And I wonder
Well I wonder
Yeah I wonder

I could reminisce for an hour or two
But I'll have to miss
Got some things to do
Won't you tell my friends
And the king of beers
I can't make amends for a wasted year

Can you save my kiss for a better year?
Cause when midnight hits
I'll be out of here

And I wonder what we've done
How we somehow keep on going
In this stale old skin
And I wonder
Well I wonder
Yeah I wonder
Do you wonder?
