New Year's

So the year dies in a night, replaced by the new year today.

I counted up costs of time I've lost. Time, it won't stop for me.

Where did all of the time go?

Spring rolls in with the best intentions, I just wish the days would be slow.

Summer sun sets on all of my lost bets, I just wish the days would be slow.

Woke up last fall feeling something was off, and I know I ain't coming home.

I'm not a quitter, but it'll soon be winter. I'll be out in the cold.

So the year dies in a day, replaced by the new here, tonight.

I want to feel like anything matters, not like a withering light.

I won't pretend summer won't end, I just wish the days would be slow.

I know next fall won't be the same at all, but I know I'll never come home.

It's a long, hard winter if I can't be with her. I'll be shivering, cold.

But, I know I've found that when spring comes around,

I'll be wishing the days would be slow.
