There's glitter on the floor after the party 
Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby 
Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor 
You and me from the night before, but 

Don’t read the last page 
But I stay when you're lost, and I'm scared 
And you’re turning away 
I want your midnights 
But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year's Day 

You squeeze my hand three times in the back of the taxi 
I can tell that it's gonna be a long road 
I'll be there if you're the toast of the town, babe 
Or if you strike out and you're crawling home 

Don't read the last page 
But I stay when it’s hard, or it’s wrong 
Or we're making mistakes 
I want your midnights 
But I’ll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year's Day 

Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you 
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you 
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you 
And I will hold on to you 

Please don't ever become a stranger 
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere 
Please don't ever become a stranger 
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere 

There’s glitter on the floor after the party 
Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby 
Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor 
You and me forevermore 

Don't read the last page 
But I stay when it's hard, or it's wrong 
Or we're making mistakes 
I want your midnights 
But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year's Day 

Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you 
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you 
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you 
And I will hold on to you
