[Verse 1]
When’s it gonna change?
What’s the point in making this when they just stay the same?
Writing things I’ve wrote before
Said that I would quit
But I don’t think I’m sticking to it

[Verse 2]
My new years resolution was a weak one
Forgot that s*it by Feb
I was gonna get s*it done
But I had new s*it in my head
It came ’round to March and
I was down and depressed
It was too much for a minute
Was not living at my best
I just stayed in bed for days and
Showers came in April
Feeling like a fool now
I’m not looking forward
But when it gets warmer
Gonna feel a little better
I may, now it’s May

[Verse 3]
Oh my god, my birthday coming up
I’m turning twenty-five
I hope that I see twenty-five more years alive
I wanna feel the best that I can feel
And make the most of life
But May came’ ’round so fast
I can’t believe five months went by
Almost half
Yeah, it’s summer soon, I’m happy as hell
And June is looking good, yeah I can tell
Well, ready for it now
I’m outside the house, thank God

July came around, was grateful yet still frustrated

[Verse 4]
Oh
Feel too much now
This heat won’t even save me
August is amazing
Suntan under my face again
This year we needed reason to smile, so
Went Italy and did the anniversary, wow
Time went on and I remembered
Feeling like, “Holy fu*k, now, it’s September”
What am I doing?
In fall, I’m feeling painless
Only three more months ’til we gon’ start again
Going through the year together
Through the year together
October, now it’s cold again
I don’t feel like myself, oh God

[Verse 5]
November
I don’t know the difference anymore
It’s cold and I just want to go back to the start
I know I’ll feel much better there
I’m gonna make new plans and stick to them this time, I swear
What now? What’s next?
I need to think about gifts
Christmas coming up
Oh s*it, I ain’t ready yet
No, no, no

[Outro]
You start the whole thing over
And we try a little harder next year
