Signals Midwest - ...And A Happy New Year Lyrics

I try my best to fight it but the feeling still persists
I'm never satisfied unless I'm crossing things off lists
We try so hard, it takes so long
But we made it through this year!

Look at all the explosions in the sky!
500,000 strangers and another 10 seconds I let pass by
I'm not trying to be famous, I just don't want to be unheard
Here's resolution #1:
"Try not to break promises to yourself for once."
Don't think of everything you've missed
Just think of everything you've learned

I'm doin' alright, I'm doin' fine!
Why don't you take this on by yourself this time
You've got me feeling like someone I don't know
In a crowd of people and I'm still alone
I'm of a certain disposition
Much more than a textbook case of lack of ambition
I just can't be tying myself down
I'm on the next flight out, I'll see you around

So just take 80 west and you'll get home fine
Within a few miles, we're making good time
The sign on the billboard proclaims "Hell is real."
But no one could possible know how I feel.
