This is the Year (Song)


This is the year that I go home
Everything has to change--one way or another
This is the year--I'll let myself crash and burn
I've been holding my breath for four years
I've been holding my breath for four years

This is the only year I can live now
I gotta clear the tracks
Of the trainwreck in my mind
This is the year
Where I find my way back
Or my way out

Oh God save me from myself
Oh God save me from myself

I've been living in the past and holding out
For my dreams to come back together
I've been looking for a fix for the constant loneliness
I feel now.

This is the year I'm rediscovering joy
Oh, I've known it was you all along
I've known it was you all along
This is the year
That I stop running
Oh, you might have to hold my toes to the line
You might have to put a strong hand into mine.
Cuz if I don't stand up like a man
I'm gonna lose you all over again

They set off fireworks all around the hill in L'viv
They cheered for a new year, it seemed so optimistic and naïve.

I'm taking a deep breath
Oh I'm no hero I know
But I've got to change
If I'm gonna be a man
Oh I've got to change
If I'm gonna live again

This is the year--that I go home
Everything has to change
One way or another
This is the year--that I let myself crash and burn
In the fire, in your arms, or both
I'm still not sure.

I've been holding my breath for four years
I've been holding my breath for four years

This is the year.
