Beach House
New Year
[Chorus 1]
All I wanted comes in colors
Vanish every day
I keep these promises, these promises
Stranger things will come before you
Always out of the way
We keep these promises, these promises

[Chorus 2]
Can you call it? See it coming
Just enough to tell a story
'Bout a portrait of a young girl
Waiting for a new year

[Verse 1]
All you ever wanted
Is it getting away?
Visions of a feeling
The footsteps at bay
You were getting stronger
Memories again
Now you're open wider
It's better this way

[Chorus 1]
All I wanted comes in colors
Vanish every day
I keep these promises, these promises
Stranger things will come before you
Always out of the way
We keep these promises, these promises
[Bridge]
Won't you write a letter
On the page
In your own way?
Write it in a letter
On the page
It's your own way

[Verse 2]
You were getting wiser
It's better this way
Faces in the mirror
Memories again
Now look to a feeling
It's lighter than breath
All you ever wanted
Is it getting away?

[Chorus 2]
Can you call it? See it coming
Just enough to tell a story
'Bout a portrait of a young girl
Waiting for the ending of an era
Can you call it? See it coming
Just enough to tell a story
'Bout a portrait of a young girl
Waiting for the new year
