Same year again

Verse 1 It was twenty twenty-five I said this time I’ll change New streets, same lights Same hands on my face I counted down the seconds Like it meant something real Fireworks in the distance Nothing here to feel Pre-Chorus I wrote your name in January Watched it fade by June Every promise felt temporary Every night the same room Chorus Now it’s twenty twenty-six Same hope, same disappointment Same cold air in my lungs Same quiet appointment Twenty twenty-six Same ghosts in different clothes Same dreams, slightly older Still nowhere to go Verse 2 New calendar on the wall Old habits in my head I sleep through resolutions Wake up under them instead Everyone’s shouting fresh start I just nod and smile I’ve been here before Just a different mile Pre-Chorus (repeat) I raised a glass to the future Let it sit untouched Every year feels closer But never enough Chorus (repeat) Now it’s twenty twenty-six Same hope, same disappointment Same hands shaking at midnight Same silent moment Twenty twenty-six Same words I don’t believe I still want to want it I still want to leave Bridge (spoken / distant) If time is a circle Then I’m standing still Waiting for something That never will Outro (fade, repetitive) Same year again Same year again Same year again Same year… again
