This Year

Intro: Another year older, it came and went Blood and the tears and the money spent The new year's here with the same old cast We dance and we drink like it may be our last Buzzing and waiting for the countdown to come Feels like slow motion, from ten to one A kiss and the fireworks light the sky Falling apart over Auld Lang Syne Let's focus on this night alone Just hope that we make it home alive The Earth it turns, spring rushes in Days get longer and nights grow thin Mother wakes up a little brighter than before Cold melts away and the gardens grow The air is crisp and the fields are sweet Grass and the daffodils tickling our feet Flowers they bloom and the birds they sing Fill up the day with the songs they bring And I don't feel much like singing at all Seasons change, but I don't change at all Well, I've done wrong Well, I've done right, that's clear Maybe I'll get better Maybe I'll be different, this year Ooh, here comes summer, well it's coming in hot No shirt, no school, give it all you got The sun, it calls, so let's go outside Toasting our drinks in the warm sunshine The asphalt smoulders in the city streets You better run fast or you're gonna burn your feet Splashing and yelling, the cannonball Enough love and laughter for one and all Oh the future's, future's looking bright I think that I might get it right after all Moody autumn blows in off a summer wind Leaves fall off of the trees, never see them again Like embers, they float into the streets Golden and red at the fancy feast Well, let's close all the curtains, let's stay inside No flower, no fruit and the lawns all die Well, how could it all fall apart so fast And why would I think it would ever last? When everything is dying Well, how can I feel alive? Chorus:
