The Words to Auld Lang Syne

[Verse 1]
Did you ever learn the words to Auld Lang Syne?
I didn't but I really missed ya
Achingly so
And I never knew that you'd get married
And still I'd be living down here on my own
Disco 2023
And poor me, am I right?
My overdraft just bought us a round of drinks, isn't it polite?
Give up your seat on the bus and say thanks for the drive
None of these jobs existed in the Stone Age
And they'll disappear again in a hundred years time
So just shrug your shoulders, you'll be fine

[Pre-Chorus]
All the little things that you needed
All thе tiny pieces will fall into place

[Chorus]
And lеt me hold you for a second
If only just your gaze
Tomorrow's never promised
But neither was today
And when you need a friend, I'll be there
I'm in every city light
Eyes wide into the night
Eyes wide into the night

[Verse 2]
And we're not getting wiser, we're only getting older
And that's the thing I know the most
Aren't we all just smashed atoms and poached egg on toast? If you think about it
But maybe don't
Lost in the moment as the moment explodes
No more martyrs, no more ghosts
I promise, I'll always be there when you need me the most
Or maybe drifting apart is just slowly gliding back together
The long way 'round, anti-shortcut, lazy river
Because what's six months in the space-time continuum?
Lean on your nostalgia or move into the ambiguous
Your hand half-holds mine and our fingers experimentally entwine
I really think we can do this, I think we've really got this this time

[Pre-Chorus]
All the little things that you needed
All the tiny pieces will fall into place

[Chorus]
And let me hold you for a second
If only just your gaze
Tomorrow's never promised
But neither was today
And when you need a friend, I'll be there
I'm in every city light
Eyes wide into the night
Eyes wide into the night

[Bridge]
Shoulder to shoulder
Doubtful but
Just the same amount as always
All the little things that you needed
All the tiny pieces will fall into place
And all the little things that you needed
All the tiny—

[Chorus]
And let me hold you for a second
If only just your gaze
Tomorrow's never promised
But neither was today
And when you need a friend, I'll be there
I'm in every city light
Eyes wide into the night
Eyes wide into the night
And let me hold you for a second (All the little things that you needed)
If only just your gaze
Tomorrow's never promised (All the tiny pieces will fall into place)
But neither was today
And when you need a friend, I'll be there (All the little things that you needed)
I'm in every city light
Eyes wide into the night (All the tiny pieces will fall into place)
Eyes wide into the night
And let me hold you for a second, please

[Outro]
All the little things that you needed
All the tiny pieces will fall into place
