Lyrics

January

January, you got me feeling weary
How could it be another year’s gone by?
January, I’m not thinking very clearly,
I got questions and I think that you know why

January, I still feel a little hazy
Won’t you tell me just exactly why you’re here.
January, oh I know it may sound crazy
But indulge me cause I’m feeling insecure

Will this year be so different from the last?
Repeat the same mistakes while never learning from the past?
Despite my resolutions, I don’t know
I worry that I’ll settle for the same old status quo! oh oh, January oh oh, January

January, you’ve caught me in the middle
Between where I’ve been and where I want to go
January, ah, this life is such a riddle
‘Bout the time I’ve got it down, it starts to slow

January, lay those your cards out on the table
Show me all the new adventures I will find
January, tell me everything you’re able
What the future holds, and have I got the time?

Will this year be so different from the rest?
Will things turn out for good, or better, or the very best?
Despite my resolutions, I don’t know
I worry that I’ll settle for the same old status quo! oh oh, January oh oh, January

January, why these cold and heartless days?
January, why this cruel and bitter phase?
January, do you have to stay so long?
Or can we simply skip ahead and start to sing a springtime song?

Will this year be so different from before?
Or met with stiff resistance and ignored?
Despite these resolutions, I can’t say I really know
I speculate we’ll settle for the same old status quo!
oh oh, January
oh oh, January
oh oh, January!
