Lately mornings feel like I'm not winning
like I know a lot, lots of missing
There's a skyscraper takeover on 8th and Broad 
and I can't explore out of fear
The same old fears and the same old doubts 
like why dancing scares the hell out of me 
And astrology says it will be fun to forget last year 
in the new year and you're so sweet reminding me 
of all that I can do alone
+-- Chorus (1:17)
This Ftime, this Gyear, 
is Cbigger than Gus, it goes Amon long Gafter we're Fgone 
                                         (This town) 
has taken it Gall out of us
Cmade us Gnew made us Amlook at our Glives through new Feyes
I love you in Gso many ways 
you Ctaught me to Ggive, to Amlose, to Glove, to be Flost, 
and Gnow, how to CwantG  Am  G  
+-- Verse 2 (1:40)
CAnd I held your Gshoulders
Amwe cried in the Emdark 
Cthat was last Gyear, and we were so Fscared
CSo when it comes Gmarch
Amwill we march toEmgether? 
Ride Cbikes to the river and Gwreck them along the Fway

Lately mornings feel like I'm not winning

like I know a lot, lots of missing

There's a skyscraper takeover on 8th and Broad

and I can't explore out of fear

The same old fears and the same old doubts

like why dancing scares the hell out of me

And astrology says it will be fun to forget last year

in the new year and you're so sweet reminding me

of all that I can do alone
