A Better New Year

Mmh-da-da, mmh-da-mmh-da-da

Mmh-da-da, mmh-da-mmh-da-da

I spent the last year worried about what I don't know
I spent the next year learning how to let it go
I spent a whole month staring at my stereo, when I know
Should've been out trying to claim a throne

No more listening to he said, she said
If we're going down, then we're going down my way
Follow my heart, gonna play my part
Let the bullshit end, let the real shit start

Here, here, to the greatest year that we'll ever have
And here, here, to moving on, just let the past be the past
The greatest turn we've ever earned
We're living life too fast
To a new you, here, here
To a better new year
(To a better new year)

I'm getting sick of letting the man in the mirror down
Sick of hiding my face in my own hometown
Sick of counting my scars everyday now, 'til I found
Can't restart 'til I (burn it to the ground)

When a man sits still, he's just waiting to die
I spent my whole life worried what could happen if I try
'Cause it ain't worth doing if you ain't scared, I swear
Unchased dream ain't nothing but a nightmare

I'll make there soon but it starts with a step
I keep it left, right, left, then I see where I get
A year to the day, I raise my glass
From this moment to that we're starting from scratch

Here, here, to the greatest year that we'll ever have
And here, here, to moving on, just let the past be the past
The greatest turn we've ever earned
We're living life too fast
To a new you, here, here
To a better new year

Mmh-da-mmh-da-da
Mmh-da-mmh-da-da
Mmh-da-da, mmh-da-mmh-da-da
Mmh-da-mmh-da-da
(To a better new year)

Once again, we find ourselves at a crossroad
Between a life we wanted and the one they chose
Doomed to repeat their mistakes, can't let go
Digging in my pockets, can't find change though

I fight for class and a quest for truth
Another troubled generation, passing down to the youth
It's breaking my heart, but while my heart's still beating
We can change this part (start believing)

A wish is just a wish until we make it exist
So take a look around, you know we're better than this
Because we can't be defined by our parent's mistakes
We'll find a better way, we'll do whatever it takes

We're moving left, right, left, then we're building the streets
We've got a beat in our chest, to guide our feet
You wanted better days? Then start right here
You want a better life? It starts this year, come on

Here, here, to the greatest year that we'll ever have
And here, here, to moving on, just let the past be the past
The greatest turn we've ever earned
We're living life too fast
To a new you, here, here
To a better new year
