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 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 favourites have moved

Right to the corners or 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.
