Verse 1
Hey, calendar, leave those dates alone
All in all it’s just another mark upon the stone
Midnight strikes, the bottle’s dry, the screen glows cold
All in all you’re just another year growing old

Chorus
We don’t need no midnight kiss
We don’t need no fake “happy this”
No fireworks to light the dark inside my home
Hey, lovers, leave me alone
All in all it’s just another year alone
All in all I’m just another year alone

Verse 2
When I was young the nights felt short, the mornings came too soon
Now the clock just crawls and laughs inside this empty room
Messages unopened, invitations I ignore
If you reached out, I wouldn’t know what I’m hiding for

Chorus
We don’t need no forced connection
We don’t need no false affection
No “How you holding up?” to break the silent zone
Hey, world, leave me alone
All in all it’s just another year alone
All in all I’m just another year alone

“Wrong, do it again…
If you don’t eat your meat, you can’t have any pudding…
How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat?”
Another year… another year… another year alone…

Chorus
We don’t need no resolution
We don’t need no absolution
Just let the credits roll, I’ll sit here on my throne
Hey, future, leave me alone
All in all it’s just another brick in the wall
All in all I’m just another year alone
