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 tallеr
All of my favourites have moved
Right to thе corners of their boredom
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
