Nothing Gold Can Stay - New Year Lyrics

It's a rainy Thursday in December
I had to check 'cause time is kinda lost on me these days
There's so much I don't remember
But I think this year will stick with all of us in many ways
A year of snow fell today
It's freezing out, but I'm on my back porch in my shirt
There's not one recent day to think off
That's been better suited for thinking through this hazy blur
This time next year
I'll be a different man
I'll still have the same body
But I'll have a different plan
Free from restraints
Done worshipping the old saints
I'll make a mark on the world
Next year
I'm not trying to contradict you
Just for the sake of butting heads
But let's be honest, let's be real here
There's so many things we left unsaid
So let this time be different
Let us walk down unfamiliar roads
Let's unburden ourselves
Of setting more imaginary goals
So this time next year
I'll be a different man
I'll still have the same body
But I'll have a different plan
Free from restraints
Done worshipping the old saints
I'll make a mark on the world
Next year
You know me better than I ever did
Ignoring things I thought I wouldn't ever miss
Stretch it out now, while it still bends
A strange one for sure, but another year destined to end
This time next year
I'll be a different man
I'll still have the same body
But I'll have a different plan
Free from restraints
Done worshipping the old saints
I'll make a mark on the world
Next year
This time next year
I'll be a different man
I'll still have the same body
But I'll have a different plan
Free from restraints
Done worshipping the old saints
I'll make a mark on the world
Next year
