Lyrics

Verse 1

Coffee from a pod
And I hate the taste
But I’ve grown too impatient
For my standards
I floor the gas on amber
Never stop
And the burnout’s real
But I’ve just learned to manage
Like how children love a bandage

Chorus 1

But maybe this will be the year
Maybe this will be the moment
When I finally carve that body
I thought I would stumble on
Maybe learn to hunt a deer
Revive my father’s accent
Maybe kick a couple habits
I been dragging through these halls

Chorus 2

Cause time don’t stop
To heed my tangents
Things don’t rot
When they’re well managed
And I’m not lost
Nor where I should be
But maybe this will be
The year I find
The man I could be

Verse 2

Another birthday come and gone
And it feels like I spent last year
On a treadmill in the Andes
Just cause you’re moving
It don’t mean you’re moving up
And the mountain’s real
But I became a tenant
To the canyon
And God I wish I was advancing

Chorus 3

But maybe this will be the year
Maybe this will be the moment
When I stitch my act together
Be a friend that I would want
Maybe learn to cast a reel
Better yet use a hammer
Maybe be a better father
Years are slipping
Through these palms

Chorus 4

Cause time don’t stop
To heed my tangents
Songs don’t flop
They’re just supplanted
And I’m not lost
Nor where I should be
But maybe this will be
The year I find

Tag

Maybe somewhere in this
Ol’ boy hides
The man I could be
