Next Year Lyrics

(Close my eyes and hope when they open

My spirit's no longer broken

Can't keep from keeping the ball rolling

On and on and on and on)

I can't lie, I'm disappointed

But can't be surprised things didn't turn out like I wanted

I get my hopes up, it's a bad habit

Cause things really never happen the way you plan them

I can't keep up with this place

Are you for real

I wanna fall asleep and not wake up until

Next year

Let me know if the coast is clear

I think I've gotta get out of here

Just disappear

If things finally let up, it will all get better

Next year

(Or the next year…)

I can't stand on my own two feet

While disappointing everyone who thought they knew me

I let my guard down, it's a problem

Can't fix these flaws negotiating to absolve them

I can't keep up with this pace

Are you for real

Bury my head in the sand and not come out until

Next year

Let me know if the coast is clear

I think I've gotta get out of here

Just disappear

If things finally let up, it will all get better

Next year

(Or the next year…)

Staring down an endless loop

Faced with an even harsher truth

Things won't ever be the same again

Close my eyes and hope when they open

Our best years are no longer stolen

Sick of walls that won't stop closing in

I can't wait for this to end

Next year

(Or the next year…)
