  • Well it's a new year, with it comes more than new fears.
    Met a young man who was in tears, he asked me,
    "What induces us to stay here?"
    I said, "I don't know much and I'm not lying,
    But I think you just have to keep on trying."

    And I know I am naive, but if anything
    That's what's going to save me
    That's what's going to save me

    Took a stroll around the neighborhood where the trees are swaying.
    People passed in cars with their windows down, with a pop song playing.
    A man walked by, walking back and forth the street with a drunken smile to go along.
    He stopped to look at me and say, "Child, don't fear doing things wrong."

    Yet I am still afraid but if anything
    That's what's going to save me
    That's what's going to save me

    Now I have a lot to learn and I'm starting tonight,
    Got to stop looking at things like they're black and they're white.
    Got to write more songs of a little more, treat my friends better.
    Got to stop worrying about everything to the letter.
    And sometimes when it's too hard to get up,
    It just might be a little call apart.

    But I find it hard to believe, but if anything
    That's what's going to save me
    That's what's going to save me

    Tell me, tell me
    Oh, what's going to save me? Writer/s: JOHANNA KAJSA S�DERBERG, JOHANNA KAJSA SOEDERBERG, KLARA MARIA S�DERBERG, KLARA MARIA SOEDERBERG
