I took a drive by the prison

Wound up at the taco stand
I changed my clothes in the parking lot
And thought about our wedding plans
Then I looked up at the foothills
Where I used to hide with you
You gave me anything I wanted
Now all I want's a substitute

I'm lost inside my skin
No messages to send
Don't cry
It's New Year's day again

I came back around
To hide out for the holidays
That was over thirteen months ago
I don't know if I'll ever escape
So I'm back where we started
Working from room to room
Yeah, I'm all over the campus
A big man with a mop and a broom

I'm lost inside my skin
No messages to send
Don't cry
It's New Year's day again

Last night the champagne was flowin'
Some guys were runnin' off at the mouth
Your name came up in conversation
Then somebody started the count
I woke up in my Nissan
To the static on the radio
I dialed up a station
Closed my eyes and started to glow

I'm lost inside my skin
No messages to send
Don't cry
It's New Year's day again
