Lyrics / The Wondering Traveler
SYDNEY (After The Ball Drop)
Attention, it’s January one New year, new damage, new desire If you’re holding someone, hold tighter If you’re alone, dance louder Harbor lights like open veins Fire in the sky, fire in my name I taste the night on my tongue, electric sweet We made a promise on a moving street Champagne breath and a borrowed kiss You said this year, we don’t miss But chaos loves a crowded view And love is loud when it’s brand new I saw your eyes when the skyline shook Like the future was a dirty book One more second Now jump Sydney, fireworks in my bloodstream New year, new war, new daydream Hold me close while the world goes bright If we crash, let it be tonight Sydney, don’t let the moment fade I want your name in the afterglow haze If love is a riot, I’m in the front row Jan one, heart open, ready to blow We came in broke but we shine for a minute Harbor Bridge lit, whole city in it Tourists flex, VIP ropes, rich talk soft, but the bass stays close I’m in the middle, I’m not that guy Not the king, not the kid who cries I just move with the crowd and the drum and the heat Trying to find something real in a million feet You said stay and my mind said run But my chest said nah, this is the one Fireworks pop like the sky got teeth And I’m laughing through it, sweet relief Say it again Syd Sydney, fireworks in my bloodstream New year, new war, new daydream Hands up high, don’t think, just go If we fall, let the whole world know Sydney, don’t let the moment fade I want your name in the afterglow haze If love is a riot, I’m in the front row Jan one, heart open, ready to blow Midnight made us brave for a second But daylight asks for receipts Tell me you’ll stay when it’s quiet Not just when the skyline screams Sydney, fireworks in my bloodstream New year, new war, new daydream Hold me close while the world goes bright If we crash, let it be tonight Sydney, don’t let the moment fade I want your name in the afterglow haze If love is a riot, I’m in the front row Jan one, heart open, ready to blow Ready to blow Ready to blow January one If you survived the night You can survive the year
