January First from Ready Reckoner by Courtney Hartman

january first (courtney hartman)

making soft resolutions at the end of december
to walk a little slower and try to talk cleaner
if i’m particularly ambitious i'll wake before the sunup
we’ll cook more together and try not to ever fall asleep with the light switch on

january first will be here
ready or not

i can be to careful you can be too kind
i can be too sorry you can be too right
we can be too knowing we can be too wise
if we both stay quiet it'll keep us blind

january first will be here ready or not
one way or another i love you
more than i thought

there's a comfort in knowing how a story ends
maybe that's why i don't mind when you tell the same ones
over and over and over again

january first will be here we'll make it or not
one way or another i love you
more than i thought
