Years On

You’re the author of my head
And I wouldn’t light up the room
See, it’s awkward if I’d said that “I wouldn’t sit back and lose”

If I gotta be there for me
(Death, be on time for me)
‘cause I’m kinda feeling there, fully
(Let me unwind, fully)

You’re out on the border, where time left
And I shouldn’t care like I do
But I’ll be going on and on for 40 years saying “hell, what I wouldn’t do just to be around, feel better now”
My God, I can’t stop it, so let it ring
I bet it won’t mean a thing
You said it don’t mean a thing

Spent every autumn getting taller
All of my favourites have moved,
right to the corners of their boredom
And I couldn’t sit there with you

If I gotta be there for me
(Life, be on time for me)
‘Cause I’ve been going on and on for all these years
Hell, what I wouldn’t do

Just to make a sound, make it real loud
My God, I can’t stop it, I let it win,
I bet it won’t mean a thing
You said it don’t mean a thing
