This Will Be My Year Lyrics

I think it's about being depressed and trying to convince yourself that this will be the year everything comes together like you always thought it would. It seems, though, by the end of the song, the speaker has given up hope and makes a "grand departure from a world getting way too small" in a car accident. The last chorus seems ironic almost.
