Clean/Long Live/New Year's Day

[Verse 1: Clean]

The drought was the very worst

Oh-oh, oh-oh

When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst

It was months and months of back and forth

Oh-oh, oh-oh

[Pre-Chorus: Clean]

Hung my head as I lost the war

And the sky turned black like a perfect storm

[Chorus 1: Clean]

The rain came pouring down

When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe

And by morning

Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean

I think I am finally clean

[Verse 2: Long Live]

I said, "Remember this moment in the back of my mind"

The time we stood with our shaking hands

The crowds in the stands went wild

We were the kngs and the queens

And they read off our names

The night we danced like we knew our lives

Would never be the same

You held your head like a hero

On a history book page

It was the end of a decade

But the start of an age

[Chorus 2: Long Live]

Long live the walls we crashed through

How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you

I was screaming, "Long live all the magic we made

And bring on all the pretenders, I'm not afraid"

Long live all the mountains we moved

I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you

I was screaming, "Long live that look on your face

And bring on all the pretenders

One day, we will be remembered"

[Bridge 1: Long Live]

Hold on to spinning around

Confetti falls to the ground

May these memories break our fall

And hold on to spinning around

Confetti falls to the ground

[Verse 3: New Year's Day]

There's glitter on the floor after the party

Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby

Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor

You and me from the night before, but

[Chorus 3: New Year's Day]

Don't read the last page

But I stay when you're lost and I'm scared

And you're turning away

I want your midnights

But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year's Day

[Verse 4: New Year's Day]

You squeeze my hand three times in the back of the taxi

I can tell that it's gonna be a long road

I'll be there if you're the toast of the town, babe

Or if you strike out and you're crawling home

[Chorus 4: New Year's Day]

Don't read the last page

But I stay when it's hard or it's wrong

Or we're making mistakes

I want your midnights

But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year's Day

[Post-Chorus: New Year's Day]

Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you

Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you

Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you

And I will hold on to you

[Bridge 2: New Year's Day]

Please, don't ever become a stranger

Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere

Please, don't ever become a stranger

Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere

[Spoken]

I love you guys so, so, so, so, so much

[Verse 5: New Year's Day]

There's glitter on the floor after the party

Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby

Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor

You and me from the night before, but

[Chorus 4: New Year's Day]

Don't read the last page

But I stay when it's hard or it's wrong

Or we're making mistakes

I want your midnights

But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year's Day

[Post-Chorus: New Year's Day]

Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you

Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you

Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you

[Outro: Long Live & New Year's Day]

And long live (Please, don't ever become a stranger)

The walls we crashed through (Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere)

I had the time of my life (Please, don't ever become a stranger)

With you (Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere)

And long live

The walls we crashed through

I had the time of my life

With you
