Verse 1
No good movies playing at the Regal tonight Killing time beneath the flashing neon light French fries and a soda from the golden arches down the street Dipping in ranch as the crowd drags its feet Headphones on staring up at the billboards' glow I walk these blocks eighteen times a month or so Never stop to think if I’ve got it good Just another night in a busy neighborhood
Chorus
New Year on Times Square I’m never in the crowd when the crystal ball drops down New Year on Times Square They’re screaming ten to one in the giddy countdown
Post-chorus
I gaze as Broadway has a blast and shines So why do I cry when the midnight chimes Watching strangers in the snow kissing like they know That love is all we've got here below
Bridge
Confetti falling down like a paper storm Looking at the screen cozy and warm I survived the lottery I won the race So why do the tears run down my face
Chorus
New Year on Times Square I’m never in the crowd when the crystal ball drops down New Year on Times Square They’re screaming ten to one in the giddy countdown
Post-chorus
I gaze as Broadway has a blast and shines So why do I cry when the midnight chimes Watching strangers in the snow kissing like they know That love is all we've got here below
