lyrics

This was the year that was s'posed to be
Better than last, but not for me
Personal growth just ain’t come so easy
Tryin’ to please others but can’t seem to please me
What am I s’posed to do now?

Doom scroll for hours then wonder where the morning went
"Baby, get dressed, and think about some nourishment"
I could go outside to get outside of my head
But first I gotta find a way to get out of this bed
“Get a grip,” she said

I can call up a friend and ask how their day has been
Give them a word or two of encouragement
Is it Southern California or am I goin’ crazy?
This cannabis can be a bliss but no one can save me from myself
Unless I want to be saved

This year all I want for the holidays
Is to be a better me
And know that I owe no apologies
So I’ll do the best that I can
To listen and try and understand
Then maybe next year will go according to plan

My Christmas list is a blank sheet
The things that I need can't fit under a tree
Gift wrap intangible things you can't buy
Unwrap empty boxes to crawl in and die
This heart is shrinking three sizes

This year all I want for the holidays
Is to be a better me
And know that I owe no apologies
So I’ll do the best that I can
To listen and try and understand
Then maybe next year will go according to plan

Outro:

“As the two lonely ska kids skanked off into the night
You could hear them a-toastin’ away with all of their might
If those weirdos can find friendship then never you fear
Turn up the sound system and let’s bring in the new year”
