Maddy Walsh & the Blind Spots - New Year's Lyrics

Here is a series of yeses and nos
Sentences float past the window like boats
I'm waving in the yeses in hopes
They'll pull ashore and make this a home
My arms are tired, this stuff isn't free
I'm open to affirmative dreams

I hope I always look at New Year's this way
You take the best with you and throw the rest away
The slate is clean, a chance to make it okay
Oh, it's never too late to make a change
It's never too late

Here is a series of exes and ohs
Reel in affection like fish on a pole
I'm casting out my love in hopes
It draws in more love so that it grows
My arms get tired, this stuff isn't free
But I'm staying true to affirmative dreams

I hope I always look at New Year's this way
You take the best with you and throw the rest away
The slate is clean, a chance to make it okay

It would be easier to stand in place and watch your life pass by
Crossing boxes on a calendar, counting down the time
Movie screens that feature scenes in motion, people losing things
Like love and daughters, brothers, honor - it washes over
You are in the center, though, mechanical with muscles, bone
The blood, the brain that make the shape - you own the story

I hope I always look at New Year's this way
You take the best with you and throw the rest away
The slate is clean, a chance to make it okay
You make it okay
You gotta make it, okay?
Oh, it's never too late to make a change
It's never too late
No, it's never too late to make a change
It's never too late
No, it's never too late
It's never too late
