When the new year came
I didn't even note
What a miracle it's been
I let it wander these days
Weigh the whole thing up
Like it didn't just begin

I just can't stop myself from pretending
I can't turn down the anticipation inside

But even when I soar
Unrestrained up high
I feel it in my bones
I wasn't built to fly
As quickly as it comes
It rushes from my grasp
Forcing me to trace the breadcrumbs back

Felt like a relic of late
I've got a petty fear
For the neighborhood to change
(And it changes all the time)
And if I've been lashing out
Let it be known
I couldn't make it on my own
(I couldn't be alone)
