"Years On" lyrics

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)

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 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
