This is a New Year lullaby, I can not fake it.
You know the reasons, don't ask why.
When I got drunk and crashed the car, were you still near me?
Still I've got writing on my face.

Chorus
Minute by minute, day by day,
Though I can touch you you're so far away.
Minute by minute, day by day,
Minute by minute, day by day,
Though I can touch you you're so far away.
Minute by minute, day by day, two packs a day.

This is an Easter crucified, buried in levels.
Though I'm still bleeding I won't die.
I can see violence in your eyes; I've run out of water.
Satan is singing me lullabies.

Chorus
Minute by minute, day by day,
Though I can touch you you're so far away.
Minute by minute, day by day. Ooh.
Minute by minute, day by day,
Though I can touch you you're so far away.
Minute by minute, day by day, two packs a day.

Ooh la la, ohh la la, ohh la la, ohh la la, ohh la la, ohh la la, ohh la la, ohh la la, (x4) ooh la la, ooh la la.

I know it's time to say goodbye, but I'm still wasting.
This is no time for me to…
Now that its all been said and done, our house is empty.
Where do I go now you have gone?

Chorus
Minute by minute, day by day,
Though I can touch you you're so far away.
Minute by minute, day by day. Ooh.
Minute by minute, day by day,
Though I can touch you you're so far away.
Minute by minute, day by day, two packs a day.
