Hard Year
Josh Joplin

The sky is the color of white hot iron
The sun is long over due
The snow is falling, hopeless and perfect
And I am waiting for you
CHORUS: A new afterthought, a stupid idea
I stayed home all day, and wished you were here
It's been a hard year

No one is safe in a country of spies
The landlord is taking down names
This building is broken, it's windows are worthless
And no one ever complains
CHORUS

BRIDGE: The inks spots of birds shifting in flight
A long afternoon turns to night
And I see the sun through a crack in the sky
And just like that it all passes by
It's been a hard year

The front page pictures are already old
The dishes sit in the sink
Seven long days spent in bed
And I haven't slept a wink
CHORUS


This Will Be My Year
Semisonic

Thursday's crush is a Friday night rush
And a Monday morning cry
It's the tail that you keep chasing
And it gets away every time

New Years Eve and it's hard to believe
Another Zodiac's gone around
While you drank yourself high on hoping
And watched the ceiling spin from the ground

Counting down from ten it's time
To make your annual prayer
Secret Santa in the sky
When will I get my share

Then you tell yourself
What you want to hear
Cause you have to believe
This will be my year

Pound your fist and cross it off your list
But you know you're not that strong
When the man at the stop light catches you
Singing along to a brand new song

Well maybe it's
Trash or the overnight smash that brings a
Ship crashing through your wall
So you can make your grand departure
>From a world getting way too small

One wheel in the ditch another
Spinning in the air
Put your pedal down to the floorboards but you're not
Getting anywhere

Then you tell yourself
What you want to hear
Cause you have to believe
This will be my year
