Sundowner

Where have I been all your life?
Sitting on fences-a novocaine for all the senses
Another year will pass us by
I'm making sense of nothing, in defense of something
I laughed too late and dug myself into a grave
This year I'll try not to think too much
This year I'll try to stand up for myself
This year I'll live like I've never lived before
This is my year for sure
Another stupid clumsy story
More accidental aspirations
Another explosion of silence
I think I'm going deaf, or maybe I'm just hearing less
This year I'll try to only listen to myself
This year I'll try not to think too much
This year I'll try to stand up for myself
This year I'll live like I've never lived before
This is my year for sure
I wonder where you'll be bringing in the New Year
As midnight clocks are singing
Good chance I'll be slobbering somewhere
I'll probably pass out wasted
And sleep until the smoke clears
Vague memories of midnight
Flash in tune to morning sunlight
I'll wake up knowing you'll never be there
I've got one hundred resolutions
But I've got no solutions
I've got one song I write one hundred times
And only a dozen or so rhymes
This year I'll try not to drink so much
This year I'll try to stand up straight
This year let's live liked we've never lived before
This is our year for sure
