Story Behind the Song
the very first song i ever wrote. i was sitting up in my room during my
brother's new year's eve party, wishing i could be with the girl i loved. of
course, at the time, i was being less than monogamous (many apologies to
my official girlfriend at the time), and i still can't figure out which one of
them i was writing this song to.
Lyrics
i'm sittin' up here in my room
just lazin' around with nothin' else to do
i almost wish i were somewhere else
i'm gettin' tired of not being in the fun
oh, it's new year's; it's a party
everyone's here from miles around
oh, it's new year's; it's a party
so why do i have to spend it away from you
the house is right full up with people
don't know 'em all, but one thing is for sure -
you're not here; can't talk to you
if only i could get out of my room
oh, it's new year's; it's a party
everyone's here from miles around
oh, it's new year's; it's a party
so why do i have to spend it away from you
why are we so far apart
if only i could celebrate with you
don't get me wrong, i like to party -
i just wish they'd let me in the fun
oh, it's new year's; it's a party
everyone's here from miles around
oh, it's new year's; it's a party
so why do i have to spend it away from you
