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.
