Lyrics
We spent New Year’s Eve
in Terre Haute—counting
down the hours
in a hotel room. They all drank
champagne and rang in the new year. I drove us across the
border to Paris—Illinois, a
small, sleeping town with no crepes or eiffel tower, only a taco bell
at which we stopped. We rang
in the new year once again in the
parking lot and I drove us back, singing something about my
first time in Illinois or how we never saw 12:45am
on the first of that year, and we held the moment
in our skin as the last
fizzles of fireworks descended into the cornfields.
