Lyrics
Stop, turn away - Don’t take another look at me
I’m not a little miss shiny new year - Never was and never will be
I’ve been such a mess - You probably would never believe
When digging up the yard of the past - the things that human beings retrieve
Don’t look at me - for the answers
I’m just a fool - in need of something
Don’t look at me - for the answers
I’m just like you - in search of something
That I won’t find until it’s found - like a beautiful sound
If not for a rainy day well could we really know the sun
Let’ go outside anyway and greet whatever weather may come
Here in the mess where all our pretty colors will run
We’ll put them there with our hands and wake them up with the sun
Don’t look at me - for the answers
I’m just a fool - in need of something
Don’t look at me - for the answers
I’m just like you - but I know one thing...
If not for the sun that graces the dirt here
this seed would never leave the ground
For that moment of reaching up to the atmosphere
where needed rain is pouring down - It’s such a beautiful sound
So don’t look at me - for the answers
I’m just a fool - in need of something
Don’t look at me - for the answers - I’m just like you
Stop, turn away, don’t you take another look at me - Don’t look at me
I’m not a little miss shiny new year - Never was and never will be
