New year again

Click — reset

Same brain

Not yet

I know the clock keeps running

Calendar laughs when I blink

Got a year older overnight

My thoughts still trip before I think

They say I’m doing fine

I nod like I know the plan

But I still feel seventeen

Holding dreams in shaking hands

Tell me why

Every candle feels the same

Count the years

Forget my age

Yeah — older now

Still not grown

Add one year

Still not grown

Laugh it off

Let it go

Don’t know what I’m supposed to know

Yeah — older now

Still not grown

Midnight jokes, same mistakes

Promise change, hit escape

Say “next year” one more time

Press repeat on yesterday

When do I

When do I

Grow up?

Tick — tock

Year goes up

Brain says

Nah

I don’t know

I don’t know

I don’t know

Yeah — older now

Still not grown

Another year gone

Still not grown

Sing it loud

Count it wrong

If this is right then let it run

Yeah — older now

Still not grown

Maybe someday

Maybe not

Happy new year

Still not grown
