From the EP "Little Reverie". Music and Lyrics written and performed by Jessy Tomsko.
lyrics
I waited for you at a table for two, I waited for you in my fancy dress and my fancy shoes, drum my fingernails on the table cloth, this bread that's getting cold makes good food for thought / And everyone is so happy here, they kiss and hug, it's a happy new year, happy new year / There's a woman sitting across from me, she is with a man and they remind me of how we used to be, smiling and laughing, drinking, carefree, then a waiter comes by and breaks my little reverie / And everyone is so happy here, they clink their glasses, it's gonna be a happy new year, happy new year / And I don't know who I am and I don't know why you didn't call, and I don't know where I stand, I just don't want to feel so very small / I waited for you with a bottle of wine, I watched the doorway for a very long time, and I'm feeling tired and I'm feeling old, I grab my coat and walk back out into the cold / And everyone is so happy here, everywhere I look it's such a happy new year, happy new year.
