Verse 1
Yara, we met on a night like this one, two years back
You were holding somebody's coat and looking for the door
I said the fireworks are better from the car park on the roof
And you said that is the worst line I have heard, let's go
We missed the actual midnight by a minute and a half
And I have not been on time for anything since then
Pre-Chorus
Every year they count the same ten numbers in the cold
And every year I'm only counting down to one thing
Chorus
Countdown, then you, that is the whole design
Let the sky do what it wants, I'm not going to watch this time
Two Decembers, one bad car park, one good idea
Countdown, then you — I will be right here
Verse 2
You are terrible at endings, you leave films at ninety percent
You say you like to keep the last part somewhere in your head
So I made this one two minutes long and stopped it in the middle
No, I'm joking, it resolves, you'd never forgive me
You put the heating on before I say that I am cold
You have done that eight hundred times and never said a word
Chorus
Countdown, then you, that is the whole design
Let the sky do what it wants, I'm not going to watch this time
Two Decembers, one bad car park, one good idea
Countdown, then you — I will be right here
Bridge
If the year is bad, we will be bad at it together
If the year is good, you'll say that you always knew
Either way the first thing after midnight will be you
Final Chorus
Countdown, then you, that is the whole design
Let the sky do what it wants, I have somewhere else to look
Two Decembers, one bad car park, one good idea
Countdown, then you — happy anniversary, Yara
Outro
Ten, nine, I have lost the thread of it already
Somebody is shouting and the rooftop's going gold
Countdown, then you, and the rest of it is noise
