Secara musikal, "New Year's Day" adalah sebuah balada piano akustik dengan riff piano yang lembut dan sesekali nada gitar dan synth. Lagu ini sangat kontras dengan produksi elektronik Reputation yang berat.

[Chorus]
Don't read the last page
But I stay when you're lost and I’m scared and you're turnin' away
I want your midnights
But I'll be cleanin' up bottles with you on New Year's Day
[Verse 2]
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 crawlin' home
[Chorus]
Don’t read the last page
But I stay when it's hard or it's wrong or we're makin’ mistakes
I want your midnights
But I'll be cleanin' up bottles with you on New Year's Day
[Refrain]
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

[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
There's glitter on the floor after the party
Girls carryin' their shoes down in the lobby
Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor
You and me forevermore
[Chorus]
Don't read the last page
But I stay when it's hard or it's wrong or we're makin' mistakes
I want your midnights
But I'll be cleanin' up bottles with you on New Year's Day
[Refrain]
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 (Hold on)
[Outro]
Please, don't ever become a stranger
(To the memories, they will hold on to you)
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
(Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you)
Please, don't ever become a stranger
(Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you)
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
(And I will hold on to you)
