January (So Much Hope)

January, you know I don't need no one
It's cold outside as my resolutions warm up
January, you're such a clean blank slate
Starting anew, feeling brand new in my place
So much hope
You know that I feel brand new
And I'm trying to be perfect too
So much hope
Here comes some better days
Optimistic revolution on the way
I know I'm not a perfectionist
But I can be a perfectionist
And if I am, if I am, if I am
It all starts...
I know I'm not a perfectionist
But I can be a perfectionist
And if I am, if I am, if I am
It all starts here
It all starts... (if I am if I am if I am)
It all starts here
January, la dee da la dee da
Move along, move along
Move along (so much hope) x4
Move along, move along

Shock, shock on my block
Numb, but fine, I'm fine, numb, and blind.
I'm fine, numb, and blind.
Pain, pain delayed, a wave
Feeling in disarray
I sit in a park meant for peace
How will I go on? (x4)
Look around, look around, look around, look around
All around, all around, all around, all around (x4)
Frozen, power lost for hours
Icy roadways remind me of Northern ways and days
Open the door, winter wonderland
Exhilaration, once in a lifetime
I know this, I remember this
I knew this, I remembered this (x2)
Look around
Look around
Look around, look around, look around, look around
All around, all around, all around, all around (x4)
I'm fine, numb, and blind (x4)
I'm fine

March (Mad)

March, you're so mad
It feels like you've got whatever
In March, I'm so mad
There's too much to do, there's too many tasks
But the year is coming alive
And time is flying by
So we sing x8
March, so divine
Wooden courts, fresh nets, and metal rims
March, on my mind
Green and time for innovation (vation!)
The groundhog was last month
I forgot to mention that before
So we sing x8
March, don't ever leave me
We're having too much fun
March, where's my memory?
You're driving me so mad
Mad x8
So we sing x8
Sing x8

April showers, April showers, April showers
Bring May flowers, bring May flowers, bring May flowers (x2)
Man I need a break
What can I do?
Sprinting to the finish line
Nowhere left to lose
I'm all gassed out and totally spent
But I know that the storm's a'comin
And I'm gonna wash my fears away
April showers, April showers, April showers
Bring May flowers, bring May flowers, bring May flowers (x2)
Man something's wrong
I'm coming back to life
I'm adjusting to free time
I'm taking out my frustration
Reinvent yourself each year
Wash away each single fear (x4)
April showers, April showers, April showers
Bring May flowers, bring May flowers, bring May flowers (x2)

Mayday
I'm looking at the shoreline
My allergies have disappeared
But some humans are struggling
Depends
Where you live and where you call your abode
Seasons are very a la mode
All I can hear is mayday
All that I hear is mayday
Mayday
Was the month I was born
It's the month I graduated four times
It's the month I was married
I got! a little sight in my eye
I got! a little hearing in my ear
I got! a little booger in my nose
I got! a little taste in my mouth
I got! a little sand at my feet
I got! a little bruise on my knee
I got! a little funny in my elbow
I got! a little passion in my heart (aw, that's cute, so cute)
La la la la la la la la x2
All I can hear is mayday
All I can hear is mayday
Mayday, I think we have a problem
Mayday, I think we have a problem

Hey June, don't get so hot
Take a sunny day and make it humid
Remember to make it muggy all day
And then you can start to make it wetter
Hey June, don't be ashamed
You were made to go watch some baseball
The minute you drive out onto the road
There's no school zones, you made it better
And any time you feel the stress
Hey June, relax
It's all relaxation and vacation
For well you know that it's a time
For barbeques
and walking through ten thousand sprinklers
June x8
Hey June, don't write me off
I have found you to be so fruitful
The fireflies are reproducing in waves
So it's just time to take vacation
And I don't know how to surf
Hey June, remain
I want to go surfing, it's temptation
For well you know that it's a time
For surf and turf
fishies all wrapped up in old newspaper
June x8
Hey June, happy birth
To my Grandma Fontana
Remember the way she cooked all her meals
And you'll begin to feel better
Na na na na na na na, hey June
Goodbye!

In this moment, I feel blurry
I feel sedated, I feel pensive
Inundated with the weight of it all
Anxiety (monotony) is crawling up the walls
Comma, comma, comma
Etc, etc...
Oooh, oh so serene
Out on the dock
Nothing will change
Oooh, oh so serene
Out on the dock
Nothing will change
Oooh, oh so serene
Out on the dock
Nothing will change
Oooh, sunset agape
Dreams are abound
I feel myself at a younger age, oooh
Oooh, nightfall descent
Wish for tomorrow
Thanks for today
Oooh x4

August (Bad Rap)
03:26

Hey August, what have you got for me?
Probably nothing, that's how it is, I see
Every day's the same
Every day is hot, there's no rain
Give me a reason to give you a chance
Give me a reason to take you to dance
Give you a chance!
Oooh, I just don't see it
It never gets below 80 degrees
Do you get a bad rap?
Are you treated unfairly? What's your act?
In 2020, you were different to me
In 2020, it was so plain to see
You get a bad rap!
In 2020, turned upside down
In 2020, turned upside down
You get a bad rap, you get bad rap, do ya?
You get a bad rap, you get bad rap, do ya?
Turned upside down
In 2020, turned upside down
In 2020, turned upside down
In 2020, turned upside down
You get a bad rap, you get bad rap, do ya? (x4)

September, how do I remember?
Every birthday of my family members
Back to back to back to back to back to back
I'm unraveling, yet I'm intact
It's the calm before the storm
I better be forewarned
The grey, the grey, the grey's knocking at the door
It's the calm, the calm, the calm, the calm before the storm
September, why you so pretender?
Every echo foreshadow to the ender
Cold front cold front to front to front to front to front
I'm so gullible, and you're so blunt
It's the calm before the storm
I better be forewarned
The grey, the grey, the grey's knocking at the door
It's the calm, the calm, the calm, the calm before the storm (x2)

I see a shine on the lighthouse
The wind is still; quiet as a mouse
I believe I can change
An SOS on the mountaintop
The air is thin; giraffe triceratops
I know that I'll never change
I know there is always change (possible!)
The storm that'll never change (impossible!)
I know there is always change
The storm that'll never change
Storm, storm, storm
Change, change, change
Storm, storm, storm
Rain, rain, rain
Storm, storm, storm
Drained, drained, drained
Storm, storm, storm
Wind, sun, sleet, pain, pain, pain
Pain
Pain
Storm!
I know there is always change (possible!)
The storm that'll never change (impossible!)
I know there is always change (possible!)
The storm that'll never change (impossible!)

I can see the storm's a comin
And it's gonna wash my fears away (x4)
Through the foggy, dark frontier
I'm going through the foggy, dark frontier
I'm going through the foggy, dark frontier
I'm going through the foggy, dark frontier
I can see the storm's a comin
And it's gonna wash my fears away (x4)
November, you've got me in a fit (x8)
Nostalgia (x6)
I know it
Nostalgia (x6)
I show it
Feels like a revolution slipping through the cracks
I've been trying to ration out my own fine mental act
Now the leaves are turning colors, there's no turning back
I'm polite, I'll pass on the gravy, I'm so simple
I need nothing but the pepper and the turkey
Nostalgia (x6)
I know it
Nostalgia (x6)
I show it
Nostalgia (x6)
I know it
Nostalgia (x6)
I show it
Turns out that the tides have cycled, I seem to have changed
I need cranberry on my turkey, I must be deranged
The smell of cold air sets the tone inhaling into me
I'm high on thanks and low on zero
Immerse me into memorizes to never forgot the feeling of
(The feeling of) Nostalgia (x6)
I know it
(The feeling of) Nostalgia (x6)
I show it
(The feeling of) Nostalgia (x6)
I know it
(The feeling of) Nostalgia (x6)
I show it
Nostalgia, you've got me innocent (x8)

December, you give me a break
And always lots of cheer
December, eternal awake
Reflection in the mirror
I know life's hard
But I can see through the cracks
Breather of fortune
Completing the circle again
I'm in my bubble where everyone protects me
I don't wanna wake up to the other side
December, you give me a taste
Of a fake Christmas tree
December, an early awake
Bright lights and floral gowns
I know it sucks
When travel plans get hung up
The hope, the peaceful
The cursed, and the damned
I'm in my bubble where everyone protects me
I don't wanna wake up to the other side
I'm in my bubble where everyone protects me
I don't wanna wake up to the other side
To the other side
