Normally I'd be french-twisting my hair
And selecting the right earrings to wear
Oh it's a special evening for most
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
I know it's not in fashion
Wearing heartache on your sleeve
But 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
I'd kick my heels up until 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
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 just keep 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
You're there indifference has found me
And 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
