Like New Year’s Day

Dan Wilson, Sara Watkins

[Verse 1]
On a quiet night driving out to Harriet's again
To breathe the air and soothe my mind
A stranger might get lost out in the emptiness
If he don't know how to read the signs

[Verse 2]
If Harriet isn't there I let myself in
Cause when she's gone, she's gone for awhile
I'll stay a couple days, this is just a little trip
To get out from under the pile

[Chorus]
This place has got a hold on me, it's got a hold on
This place has got a hold on me, it's got a hold on

[Verse 3]
The desert will remind you who you oughta be
It'll show you who you are
There's nothing to protect what you're hiding
And I remember when she found my mark

[Chorus]
This place has got a hold on me, it's got a hold on
This place has got a hold on me, it's got a hold on

[Bridge]
Now I walk along the washout behind your place
Lie down there in the sand
And all that doesn't matter, it drifts away
And the wonder takes my hand

[Verse 4]
She's the bright hot sun in the cold night
She's the cold black darkness in the starlight
There are those I held onto and let go

[Chorus]
But this one's got a hold on me, she's got a hold on
This one's got a hold on me, she's got a hold on

[Verse 5]
Early morning, westbound on the empty 10
California's still fast asleep
Dawn is in my mirror once again
The light begins to weep
