New Year

Jack Rootes

[Intro]

"I've been going through a lot this past year or so. Both good and bad. So because of that, I haven't been able to focus on my music as much as I would like to. But regardless, I wanna thank all of the people that listen to my music whether you're fans or not, for, you know, keeping patient with me, while I sort things out throughout 2022. So, allow me to use this song to kind of, reflect on this past year, and talk about what I hope for for this year. Let's go!"

[Verse 1]

For me, 2022 has been a crazy year
Back then, I had my share of changes, hopes and fears
I've been through a lot since the last year came about
Some of which, I admit, I don't want to talk about
I made a few mistakes that left me feeling not so great
But I hope that the lessons learned can help me elevate
Towards a better future where things are a little clearer
I just hope the good life I desire's gettin' nearer

'Cause life is full of bullshit, that's something I understand
Something I had to learn, 'cause I'm not gettin' younger, man
I'm midway through my 20's, so I know I'm still young
I've got more living to do, I know it's far from done
But every now and then, I just wish to sit back and reflect
Paint some pictures in your mind with the words that I express
But right now, let me be honest while I take this breather:
2022's not my worst year, but not my best either

[Hook]

Been through a lot this past year
I hope this coming year becomes clear
I've got so many stories untold
Who knows what the new year holds

[Verse 2]

Now it's 2023, it's a new year
I just hope it's a good one without any fear
There's so many things in life I wanna try and do
Like trying my hardest to be happy and vibrant (true)
Maybe this year, I'll finally buckle down and learn to drive
Then I can go where I please when I want to burn some time
To improve myself as a person before the day I'm dead
I want to be more social like my father always said

I also want to try and go out more often
Go full force into life and keep movin' without stoppin'
Maybe this year, I'll finally find myself a partner
That I can share my life with and all of its stress and laughter
I've thought about hittin' the gym again to pass some time
For the moments between my job, my friends and rhymes
Maybe in the future, I'll be wearing a wedding ring
But for now, let's just see what THIS year brings

[Hook]
