Lyrics Not Your Year - The Weepies, Deb Talan, Steve Tannen

Not Your Year

Scattered shadows on a wall, you watch the long light fall
Some impressions stay and some will fade
Tattered shoes outside your door, clothes all on the floor
Your life feels like the morning after all year long
And every day it starts again
You cannot say if you’re happy
You keep trying to be
Try harder, maybe, maybe
This is not your year
This is not your year
Movies, TV screens reflect just what you expected
There’s a world of shiny people somewhere else
Out there following their bliss
Living easy, getting kissed
While you wonder what else you’re doing wrong
And every day it starts again
You cannot say if you’re happy
You keep trying to be
Try harder, maybe, maybe
This is not your year
This is not your year
Breathe through it, write a list of desires
Make a toast, make a wish, slash some tires
Paint a heart repeating, beating «don't give up, don’t give up, don’t give up.»
Scattered shadows on a wall, you watch the long light fall
Some impressions stay and some will fade away
And every day it starts again
Someday you’ll say that you’re happy
So keep trying to be
Try harder, maybe, maybe
This is not your year
This is not your year
