A Year Can Change A Lot - Chris Velan

No flights out of Paris

The New Year's almost here

The old one's on its last legs

And I may disappear

Cause lately I've been thinking

You're going the wrong way

Going the wrong way

You're not where you expected

The dreams you collected

Might cost more than you can pay

And I almost fell on Saint Michel

Till I found what I forgot

A year can change a lot

There is no language to catch the beauty

Of the moon over Montparnasse

And I can't explain for the life of me

How this could come to pass

That a family was torn

And your first child born

All the people that we've become

I've given up predicting

It's leaving me conflicted

And wondering where it all comes from

Why a friend was lost

And another one found

Some lessons they can't be taught

But a year can change a lot

A year can change a lot

You're worried about the end

But you're missing all the plot

One moment you are freezing

And the next red hot

And a year can change a lot

Oh well it looks like I'll leave on standby

This airport is like a heart

And it pumps me out with a million souls

To make a brand new start

And wars will rage

Then turn the page

And fortunes will rise and fall

The old ones will leave

And I do believe

That I'll surrender to it all

Cause the best-laid plans

Unfold like fans

Then snap tight on the spot

And a year can change a lot

Another orbit around the big star

Guess I'll give it another shot

Cause a year can change a lot
