Duration: P00H02M52S
Description: I wrote the first half of this song last spring and the second half in the fall. I think it's about the hopeful feeling I get in those two seasons. Maybe cause when things are changing it feels like they might get better?

lyrics

it feels like we made it through our lonely winter
as I see the streets growing greener and greener
the time in my head's moving faster and faster
do you think that this year will be better than last year?
do you think that this year will be better than last year?

that we can only hope
that we can only hope
that we can only hope
for the best

summer is over, the streets look so empty
as I'm getting older, it's almost my birthday
time's moving slower but not in the worst way
this year's been better than last wouldn't you say?
that this year's been better than last, wouldn't you say?

that we can only hope
that we can only hope
that we can only hope
for the best

bring all the outside in-
side out with heavy spinning
eyes glowing like they've been
waiting for life to begin

(don't look too far)
