[Verse 1]
New year, same hoodie, new mindset
I was chasing any thrill I could find, bet
Left messages unread, left my mom on “later”
Thought forever meant a weekend and a favor
I was living like the morning never comes
Laughing loud, running wild, going dumb
Now the mirror got a different kind of glare
Still the same kid, just a little more aware
[Chorus]
Happy New Year, I’m grown enough to know better
Grown enough to know better, still light as a feather (yeah)
Leaving all that “being young” on the dresser
I’m ready for the real thing, real love, real pressure
Happy New Year, I’m grown enough to know better
Grown enough to know better, still chasing the pleasure
I’ll find love, I’ll find peace in the leisure
Roll a little more, talk a little more, that’s the measure
[Verse 2]
I want someone I can call when the high fades
Walk slow, share fries on a side street
Laugh hard ‘til our ribs both ache
Argue soft, then agree on the same seat
Swipe life got me tired of the quick hit
I want history, not just a highlight clip
Someone praying that I text when it’s late
Someone patient when I’m still showing up late
[Chorus]
Happy New Year, I’m grown enough to know better
Grown enough to know better, still light as a feather (oh yeah)
Leaving all that “being young” on the dresser
I’m ready for the real thing, real love, real pressure
Happy New Year, I’m grown enough to know better
Grown enough to know better, still chasing the pleasure
I’ll find love, I’ll find peace in the leisure
Roll a little more, talk a little more, that’s the measure
[Bridge]
I’ve been high, I’ve been low
Still I rise with the smoke
If I laugh, if I choke
I’m still here, that’s the joke
I’ve been wrong, I’ve been right
Still I choose me tonight (yeah)
If love comes, let it come
I’ll be outside in the light
[Chorus]
Happy New Year, I’m grown enough to know better
Grown enough to know better, still light as a feather
Leaving all that “being young” on the dresser
I’m ready for the real thing, real love, real pressure
Happy New Year, I’m grown enough to know better
Grown enough to know better, still chasing the pleasure
I’ll find love, I’ll find peace in the leisure
Roll a little more, talk a little more, that’s the treasure
