Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Next year's gonna be better than this year
Next year's gonna be better than this 'cause
New Year's Eve comin' with a fresh kiss, say
Next year's gonna be better than this year
[Verse 2]
Next year's gonna be better than this year
Next year's gonna be better than this 'cause
New Year's Eve comin' with a fresh kiss, say
Next year's gonna be better than this
[Verse 3]
Next year's my come-up
I've been lackin', but I can feel it, it's the one
All the last three-sixty-five ones sucked
Like God group-texted the world and dumped us
But, but, but, you'd better watch my bounce-back
I'ma be the man in here
Glass to the sky like we tryna grab the chandelier
I'd like to take this opportunity and toast to me
For bein' exactly who I'm supposed to be
'Cause life is gonna do what life does
I don't wanna look back and regret who I was
Let go of the expectations and then fire one
Forget the tally sheet before my time's up
And I know I gotta roll with it
I'm well aware the universe doesn't owe me shit
I know that all of this pain leads to growth, I think
That next year's gonna be better than this (Let's go!)
[Verse 4]
I'm still an optimist
Yeah, I've got a lot to live
On time
Ain't fooling that shit
'Cause next year's gonna be better than
Better than (Go!)
[Verse 5]
Next year's gonna be better than this year
Next year's gonna be better than this 'cause
New Year's Eve comin' with a fresh kiss, say
Next year's gonna be better than this
[Verse 6]
I'm sick of missin' out
Sick of the fear and doubt
I'ma get spiritual soon
Live in the here and now
Alone in my room
But you gon' hear me loud
And clear
Let's start it at the top of the year
I want
One last cigarette
One last sip of it
One last secret
One last little bit
One last upper
One last sedative
One last supper with the Devil and his relatives (Go!)
[Verse 7]
And I was gonna change my ways
I was just waitin' for that day to pull myself up out of that beige
Run that route and make a play
So sick of sittin' on the bench
It's finally time to get in shape
Been livin' like a scrimmage
Thinkin' that I get another game now
No
I ain't waitin' for coach, marchin' band
I'ma throw a parade in my zone, goddamn!
Man in the mirror finally got on
**** a next year
The time is now to press go
And I'm gone
[Verse 8]
I'm still an optimist
Yeah, I've got a lot to live
On time
Ain't fooling that ****
'Cause next year's gonna be better than
Better than
[Verse 9]
Next year's gonna be better than this year
Next year's gonna be better than this 'cause
New Year's Eve comin' with a fresh kiss, say
Next year's gonna be better than this (Better than) (Again!)
[Verse 10]
Next year's gonna be better than this year
Next year's gonna be better than this 'cause
New Year's Eve comin' with a fresh kiss, say
Next year's gonna be better than this (Let's go)
