One Year Lyrics

New Year's eve open mic at the Sunrise Cafe

Sweaty hands, blinding lights, in a flow, then it breaks

Halfway through chorus two, you burst in the room

Still wiping the snow off your face

Make believe you're on time as you clap extra loud

But you know I don't mind, I'm just glad you're here now

Corner booth, fries for two, setting new resolutions

As we watch the lights dim downtown

You, future Ivy League

With CEO dreams to retire on the beach

Then there's... me, I'm just sitting here

Wondering how much I'll change in just one year

Valentine's Day's when I first felt the shift

When you were too cool for our photo booth pics

Spring break, April showers, by May we turned sour

I don't even know what I did

To make you drop me so casually

With one word replies, your unspoken goodbyes

Erased us, til we disappeared

Funny how much you've changed in just one year

June knocked me down but I bottled it up

July's when reality hit like a flood

Passing by tower three, our spot on the beach

Where we'd watch the sunset and cool down with ice cream

Just my luck, there you were, soaking up the heat

Cold as ice, won't say hi or even look at me

But the ultimate burn was the moment I learned

You weren't up there alone, right beside you was her

Funny how much can change in just one year

Woah ohh

Funny how much can change in just one year

Back to school with a tan on my wrist

Unbraided your bracelet, my favorite gift

Dodging you, dodging me in the hallways

Funny how much can change in

Into a homecoming dress you would hate

Blasting top 40, I dance unashamed

That was the night I locked eyes with a new face

Funny how much can change in just one year

New Year's Eve at the same open mic

Walking in, confident, see my new friend inside

Right there in the front row, sure he's no CEO

But he knows how to show up on time
