No flights out of Paris
The New Yearâ#128##153#s almost here
The old oneâ#128##153#s on its last legsAnd I may disappear
â#128##152#Cause lately Iâ#128##153#ve been thinking
Youâ#128##153#re going the wrong way
Going the wrong way
Youâ#128##153#re not where you expected
The dreams you collected
Might cost more than you can pay
And I almost fell on Saint Michel
â#128##152#Till I found what I forgot
A year can change a lot
There is no language to catch the beauty
Of the moon over Montparnasse
And I canâ#128##153#t explain for the life of me
How this could come to pass
That a family was torn
And your first child born
All the people that weâ#128##153#ve become
Iâ#128##153#ve given up predicting
Itâ#128##153#s leaving me conflicted
And wondering where it all comes from
Why a friend was lost
And another one found
Some lessons they canâ#128##153#t be taught
But a year can change a lot
A year can change a lot
Youâ#128##153#re worried about the end
But youâ#128##153#re missing all the plot
One moment you are freezing
And the next red hot
And a year can change a lot
Oh well, it looks like Iâ#128##153#ll leave on standby
This airport is like a heart
And it pumps me out with a million souls
To make a brand new start
And wars will rage
Then turn the page
And fortunes will rise and fall
The old ones will leave
And I do believe
That Iâ#128##153#ll surrender to it all
Cause the best-laid plans
Unfold like fans
Then snap tight on the spot
And a year can change a lot
Another orbit around the big star
Guess Iâ#128##153#ll give it another shot
â#128##152#Cause a year can change a lot
