it's been a year

(альбом: shot in the dark - 2023)

One, two, three, four

It's been a year
Since I've been back to Sarasota
My grandparents are getting older
And if I had to guess
It's been a year
Since my best friend had her baby girl
Now she's got a whole new world
And I ain't even met her yet

I've kept my head down grinding
Just looked up and realized it
Damn, it's been a year?

And I ain't saying it ain't been a good one
It's been a "did a lot more than I thought I could" one
It's been three hundred sixty five of record lows and record highs
Loving and losing, fun and confusing, praying and shifting gears
For the minute you got, it's probably a lot, more than you wanna hear
So all I'll say is, "it's been a year"

Since I watched him walk on out that door
And I wish I'd fought a little more, still feels like yesterday
But It's been a year
And now he's at her place five nights a week
Yeah, that feels kinda quick to me, but I guess it's been a year

And I ain't saying it ain't been a good one
It's been a "did a lot more than I thought I could" one
It's been three hundred sixty five of record lows and record highs
Loving and losing, fun and confusing, praying and shifting gears
For the minute you got, it's probably a lot, more than you wanna hear
So all I'll say is, "it's been a year"
Yeah, it's been a year

Before we raise a glass up to the next one
Looking back it's damn sure been the best one
So cheers to 365 of record lows and record highs
Loving and losing, fun and confusing, praying and shifting gears
For the minute you got, it's probably a lot, more than you wanna hear
If you're hanging around, I can tell you about it, but it might take another beer
'Cause it's been a year
Yeah, it's been a year
