英文乡村歌曲：First Aid Kit - New Year's Eve

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 induces¹ 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 naive², but if anything
That's what's going to save me
That's what's going to save me
Took a stroll³ around the neighborhood where the trees are swaying⁴.
People passed in cars with their windows down, with a pop song playing.
A man walked by, walking back and forth⁵ 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?
