New Year's

Here is a series of yeses and nos Sentences float past the window like boats I'm waving in the yeses in hopes They'll pull ashore and make this a home My arms are tired, this stuff isn't free I'm open to affirmative dreams I hope I always look at New Year's this way You take the best with you and throw the rest away The slate is clean, a chance to make it okay Oh, it's never too late to make a change It's never too late Here is a series of exes and ohs Reel in affection like fish on a pole I'm casting out my love in hopes It draws in more love so that it grows My arms get tired, this stuff isn't free But I'm staying true to affirmative dreams I hope I always look at New Year's this way You take the best with you and throw the rest away The slate is clean, a chance to make it okay It would be easier to stand in place and watch your life pass by Crossing boxes on a calendar, counting down the time Movie screens that feature scenes in motion, people losing things Like love and daughters, brothers, honor - it washes over You are in the center, though, mechanical with muscles, bone The blood, the brain that make the shape - you own the story I hope I always look at New Year's this way You take the best with you and throw the rest away The slate is clean, a chance to make it okay You make it okay You gotta make it, okay? Oh, it's never too late to make a change It's never too late No, it's never too late to make a change It's never too late No, it's never too late It's never too late
