You know that I,
Would love to see ya Next Year,
I hope that I'm,
Still alive Next Year,
You might be fine, 
With the way i think about myself,
Before you came, 
I rarely thought about myself,

How dya feel,
I found a body underneath,
Inside your head,
Things i never thought about,

You know that I,
Would love to see ya Next Year,
I hope that I'm,
Still alive Next Year

What's my view,
Well how am i supposed to know
Write to review,
Well how objective can i be?
What's my view,
Well how am i supposed to know
Write to review,
Well how objective can i be?

You know that I,
Would love to see you in that dress,
I hope that I,
Will live to see you undress,
The every dare, is part of what consumes me,
The hate i feel, is part of what fuels me,

I testify, to hide my guilty feelings,
I must confess, I'd like to be caught stealing,

You know that I,
Would love to see ya Next Year,
I hope that I'm,
Still alive Next Year

What's my view,
Well how am i supposed to know
Write to review,
Well how objective can i be?
What's my view,
Well how am i supposed to know
Write to review,
Well how objective can i be?

I'd like to wait, to see how things turn out,
If you apply some pressure,
I'd like to wait, to see how things turn out,
If you apply some pressure,

What happens when you lose every-thing,
You just start again,
You start all over again,
What happens when you lose every-thing,
You just start again,
You start all over again,

I'd like to wait, to see how things turn out,
If you apply some pressure,
I'd like to wait, to see how things turn out,
If you apply some pressure,

What happens when you lose every-thing,
You just start again,
You start all over again,
What happens when you lose every-thing,
You just start again,
You start all over again,

What happens when you lose every-thing,
You just start again,
You start all over again,
(Apply some pressure)

What happens when you lose some pressure,
Apply some pressure,
You lose some pressure
Apply some pressure,
You lose some pressure
Apply some pressure,
You lose some pressure

What happens when you lose some pressure,
Apply some pressure,
You lose some pressure
(on every-thing)
You lose some pressure
You just start again,

You know that I,
Would love to see ya Next Year,
I hope that I'm,
Still alive Next Year,
You know that I,
Would love to see you in that dress,
I hope that I,
Will live to see you undress.
