Not Today

One more trip around the sun
What else do we say
Happy New Year, Earth
Or something else cliché
Well, it's a whole new me
It feels like I'm born again
Think what I could become
I hope this feeling never ends

The morning sun kisses the frost away
It warms my heart, breathes in a brighter day

Resolutions set
Life's a boundless buffet
Find what's pure and true
Strangulate my wicked ways
I'm a dark horse
Bets at 40 to none
Failures in the past
Set my sights on number one

The trophy's won before I leave the gates
There's no tomorrow, it's time to seize today
Today

The month moves on and out
Resolutions fade
Can't recall what they were
Were they ever even made
Pull it together, man
Back on your horse and in the race
Thought you were the favorite boy
In the stretch I pull up lame

Morning comes and goes, I lay in bed awake
Maybe tomorrow but no, not today
Today
Today
Today

The rise and fall so swift
Invite the tired bones of winter
To come on in
Today
Today
Today
Today
Today
Today
Today
Today
Today
