lyrics

Raise our chapped knuckles
and cheer
to yet another re-building year

And every resolution we try
keeps my collar dirty
keeps my eyes dry

Though it does not take additional oxygen
You just leave space to swallow your pride

Wait for the sunrise to go
Leave before a chance of snow

White-knuckle the wheel
and cheer
to yet another re-building year

Though it does not take additional oxygen
You just leave space to swallow your pride
So I drove halfway along Lake Michigan
to tell somebody
they were the love of my life
