New Year Lyrics

by Beach House

The roses on the lawn
Don't know which side you're on
In a daze it will change
Wishes on a wheel
Wishes on a wheel

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e86323-beach_house~new_year_lyrics.html ]
The voices in the hall
Will carry on their talking
Carry weight you can't take
Wishes on a wheel
Is it even real?

The contact that you make
The moment when a memory aches
Who can tell?
You do it well
Wishes on a wheel
How's it supposed to feel?

One in your lifeAll I wanted comes in colors
Vanish everyday
I keep these promises, these promises
Stranger things will come before you
Always out of the way
We keep these promises, these promises

Can you call it
See it coming
Just enough to tell a story bout a
Portrait of a
Young girl waiting for a new year

All you ever wanted
Is it getting away?
Visions of a feeling
The footsteps at bay
You were getting stronger
Memories again
Now you're open wider
It's better this way

All I wanted comes in colors
Vanish everyday
I keep these promises, these promises
Stranger things will come before you
Always out of the way
We keep these promises, these promises

Won't you write a letter
On the page
In your own way
Write it in a letter
On the page
It's your own way

You were getting wiser
It's better this way
Faces in the mirror
Memories again
Now look to a feeling
It's lighter than breath
All you ever wanted
Is it getting away?

Can you call it
See it coming
Just enough to tell a story bout a
Portrait of a
Young girl waiting for the ending of an era
Can you call it
See it coming
Just enough to tell a story bout a
Portrait of a
Young girl waiting for the new year

It happens once and rarely twice
One in your life
It happens once and rarely twice

The roses on the lawn
Won't know which side you're on
On that hill
Forever still
Wishes on a wheel
How's it supposed to feel?
Wishes on a wheel
Wishes on a wheel
