Let's begin where the story ends
I'll try to explain how I lost my friends
I didn't stop when I knew I should
I've got nothing now, it's gone for good
I guess they want me dead, a bounty on my head
I say just let them come, yeah bring them on
Are you listening now? Can I get through somehow?
I've been waiting for so long
This is last year's song
INTERLUDE 1
verse 2
It all began in this prayed up town
(You were looking for a way out, love strapped you down)
I turned and ran as we were taking our vows
It sure is hard to run in a wedding gown
So I stole your car, and ran it through your heart
And the radio was on, playing last year's song
And if you're listening now, can I get through somehow?
You know I never did you wrong
That was last year's song
BRIDGE
I heard you fell in love again (with what's her name)
She used to be my friend (not anymore)
I hope you'll make it in the end, I'm free now
No I'm not afraid now, no, no, no I'm not afraid now
Yeah I'm on my way now and I got through somehow
If you're listening now, I bet you hear that sound
Of the preacher's raging on, banning last year's song
Are you listening now? Did I get through somehow?
When you're finally catching on, then I'm gone, like last year's song
OUTRO
I'm not afraid now
It's gone away now, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're on your way now
It is New Year's Day now and I got through somehow
