100 Resolutions

100 Resolutions

Lawrence Arms (The)
(album: Ghost Stories)

Where have I been all your life?
Sitting on fences, a novocaine for all the senses.
Another year will pass us by.
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.
Probably pass out, wasted, and sleeping until the smoke clears.
Vague memories of midnight flash in tune to morning sunlight.
Wake up knowing you´ll never be there.
I´ve got 100 resolutions, but I´ve got no solutions.
I´ve got one song I write 100 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.
