This Year Lyrics - The White Buffalo

Another year older, it came and went 

Blood and the tears and the money spent 

The new year's here with the same old cast 

We dance and we drink like it may be our last 

Buzzin' waitin' for the countdown to come 

Feels like slow motion from ten to one 

A kiss and the fireworks light the sky 

Falling apart over Auld Lang Syne 

Let's focus on this night alone 

Just hope that we'd make it home alive 

The Earth it turns, spring rushes in 

Days get longer and nights go thin 

Mother wakes up a little brighter than before 

Cold melts away and the gardens grow 

The air is crisp and fields are sweet 

Grass and the daffodils tickling our feet 

Flowers they bloom and the birds they sing 

Fill up the day with the songs they bring 

And I don't feel much like singing at all 

Seasons change but I don't change at all 

Well I've done wrong, well I've done right, that's clear 

Maybe I'll get better, maybe I'll be different, this year 

Ooh, here comes summer, well it's comin' in hot 

No shirt, no school, give it all you got 

The sun, it calls so let's go outside 

Toastin' our drinks in the warm sunshine 

The asphalt smoulders in the city streets 

You better run fast or you're gonna burn your feet 

Splashin' and yellin' the cannonball 

Enough love and laughter for one and all 

Oh the future's, future's looking bright 

I think that I might get it right after all 

Moody autumn blows in off a summer wind 

Leaves fall off of the trees, never see them again 

Like embers they float into the streets 

Golden and red dance repeat 

Well it's close of the curtains, let's stay inside 

No flower, no fruit and the lawns all die 

Well how could it all fall apart so fast 

And why would I think it would ever last? 

When everything is dying, well, how can I feel alive? 

Oh, life is short, well all good days disappear 

Maybe I've been lost, maybe I'll get found, this year 

Well the winter and the cold come storming in 

Kicks down the door and your blood runs thin 

Day's too short and the night's too long 

Carolers came, I can't sing along 

Oh money's all gone, don't know where it went 

Christmas ain't easy when you can't pay the rent 

And the lights go out to a silent night 

And all you can do is just stay in the fight 

And I just can't see the wrong, and I just can't see the right 

Oh, life is hard, I've been fighting, a failure 

Maybe I've been lost, don't think I'll get found, this year 

Well I've done wrong, well I've done right, that's clear 

But maybe I'll get better, maybe I'll be different, next year
