Where have I been all your life?

Sitting on fences, a novocaine for all the senses
Another year will pass us by
Making sense of nothing, in defense of something
I laughed too late and dug myself into a grave

This year I'll try not to think too much
This year I'll try to stand up for myself
This year I'll live like I've never lived before,
This is my year for sure

Another stupid clumsy story
More accidental aspirations
Another explosion of silence
I think I'm going deaf, or maybe I'm just hearing less

This year I'll try to only listen to myself
This year I'll try not to think too much
This year I'll try to stand up for myself
This year I'll live like I've never lived before,
This is my year for sure

I wonder where you'll be bringing in the new year
As midnight clocks are singing,
Good chance I'll be slobbering somewhere
Probably pass out, wasted, and sleeping until the smoke clears
Vague memories of midnight flash in tune to morning sunlight
Wake up knowing you'll never be there

I've got 100 resolutions, but I've got no solutions
I've got one song I write 100 times
And only a dozen or so rhymes

This year I'll try not to drink so much
This year I'll try to stand up straight
This year let's live like we've never lived before,
This is our year for sure
