January White - Sleeping At Last

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
