Next Year

(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...)
