New Years Eve by Golden Birds
My first post so go easy on me. Not exactly right, so maybe someone can tell me where I
gone wrong. Sounds pretty good though, and a great song.
Intro
X2
We met on a rooftop, Swimming up for oxygen
It overlooked the sunset, But we faced the other way
It was cold but her voice was shot, And downstairs they were packing it in
So we toughed it out placing bets on planes, As they rose above the bay
And I was gonna bring her apples, When she was in need
After I’d sucked the cyanide from the seeds, I was gonna bring her apples,
There were complaints and the police came, But we left no shred of proof
And as we leapt from roof to roof, She said she’d be my alibi
And when I said I’d do the same, She just smiled and said she wasn’t the type to get caught
But when I kissed her forehead it was hot, And she was shivering against the skyline
And now I’m gonna bring her apples, When she’s in need
After I suck the cyanide from the seeds, I’m gonna bring her apples
(Instrumental break)

I’m not trying to change you
I’m not trying to change you
I’m not trying to change you
I was never trying to change you
We met on a rooftop, Swimming up for oxygen
It overlooked the sunset, But we faced the other way
It was cold but her voice was shot, And downstairs they were packing it in
So we toughed it out placing bets on planes, As they rose above the bay
I’ll have extra air for you , Any time you start to drown
I’ll keep you warm when the sunrise isn’t reaching through your door
I’ll give you a number to count up to, When we’re touching down
I’ll bring you apples when your throat is sore
