January White

So let’s press undo
Rearrange the old and call it new-
January white
Every calendar is playing the same old trick:
A year will disappear, replaced with counterfeit
But we’ll never really mind
Cause if nothing else, we’re given a little time
To change the game, a chance to redefine
Everything we are
In our january white
This year is a sealed envelope
A culmination of hopes
The lottery result that we’ve been crossing fingers for
We could paint our walls a lighter shade of blue
Or we could pack our bags and change the entire view
To january white
If nothing else, we’re given a little time
To change the heart in which we change our minds;
Our hourglasses turn
This year is a sealed envelope;
With apprehensive hope
We brace for anything
I swear, i understand that nothing changes that
The past will be the past
But the future is brighter than any flashback
Well, we could let our guards down a little easier this time
We could trust that when there’s joy, there’s nothing dark behind
In spite of history
Hope is january white
This year, we’re starting over again
Letter openers in hand
A chance to take a chance
I swear, i understand that the past will be the past
And nothing changes that
But the future is brighter than any flashback
