normally i'd be french-twisting my hair
and selecting the right earrings to wear
oh it's a special evening for most
and normally i'd be proposing a toast
but not this year

because i'm here the party's all around me
you're there indifference has found me
oh i know it's not in fashion
wearing heartache on your sleeve
but i'm, i'm here and you're there
so who cares what i wear on new year's eve

normally i'd be knee-deep in champagne
kick my heels up till neighbors complain
oh it's a glamorous evening for most
and normally i'd be upstaging the host
but not this year

because i'm here the party's all around me
you're there indifference has found me
oh i know i should have dressed up
but i just can't make believe now
i'm here and you're there
so who cares what i wear on new year's eve

if you're flirting with some other girl tonight
i'm not flirting with some other guy
i'm just thinking how last year at midnight
you blew me away with the resolution that you made

i'm here the party's all around me
but you're there indifference has found me
tonight before the ball drops
i'll grab my coat and leave
i'm here and you're there
so who cares what i wear on new year's eve
i'm here and you're there
so who cares what i wear on new year's eve
