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 kind 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 forty 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 favorites 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'll let it win
I bet it won't mean a thing
You said it don't mean a thing
