12/31 - Hostage Calm

When the ball drops, let’s call it off

You dropped the ball a lot this year

And the night’s closing arguments

Can’t convince me why I’m here

It’s gonna be a bad year

You disappear

On the one night

I need you here

I face the world alone.

Can I get three cheers and a round of beers

For the year’s Most Broken Hearts?

From a damp bar by Camden Yards,

I wonder where you are

You really picked a bad year

To disappear,

And the one night

I need you here,

I face the world alone.

Let all acquaintance be forgot

And wander far from mind.

I hope to you, I hope to God

That someday we’ll be fine.

It’s gonna be a bad year

You disappear

On the one night

I need you here…

I face the world alone.
