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
