New Year's Resolution

It's almost January, momentum Been letting myself dream It's a step in the right direction After being stuck in the same routine Closer to 30 than to 20 now It doesn't seem right somehow Another year around the corner Wanna speed it up or slow it down Like good things are waiting But I'm missing my exit Stuck in the fast lane Heading straight for depression My New Year's resolution Is that, next year, I'll have new one Not be in the same damn place again In 365 days Hope it's 365 ways different That's my New Year's resolution There's a door on this place and I could leave Maybe I could change a lot of things Been planning my escape for years But I'm still sitting here Cause I keep waiting For some elusive knock on my door Meanwhile the life I'm living Eclipses the one I'm living for My New Year's resolution Is that, next year, I'll have new one Not be in the same damn place again In 365 days Hope it's 365 ways different That's my New Year's resolution Cause I see a room bathed in sunshine I see brown eyes and a smile somehow more familiar than mine I've seen it in my dreams at night About a million times And there's a weight off my shoulders And there's joy, and there's hope, and there's relief It's all right there, if I could only reach My New Year's resolution My New Year's resolution My New Year's resolution My New Year's resolution Staring too long at couples in love Rewatching movies, it's not enough I remember small moments in time when I believed my life to be better than daydreams I would play back my own memories That's where I wanna be That's where I wanna be That's my New Year's resolution
