The Griswolds - Year After Year

I lost my light but found it there in the front row
Losin' sight but found I just had my eyes closed
Laughed with the devil, shook his hand with a smile
I said you just ain’t for me

Went on a mission I could never have trained for
But fell in love and it's worth going insane for
Fed on the praise and drank it up like a tall boy
But I'm just fakin'

Watched the water flood into my bed
Afloat on sinking ships inside my head
But ya still say your love runs deep until the end

Year after year
And I've seen every motel here
I felt alone with you, believing this was all about me
Year after year
Before the stories disappear
Took a while but now I realise I did it for you

How many bridges do we burn to the ground while
We try to reach the highest peak of the mountain?
But do you ever stop and stare at the clouds
Or pause to smell the roses?

How long will you keep on fighting for your breath?
And findin' comfort in these broken walls instead
We used to say our love runs deep until the end

Woah, year after year
And I've seen every motel here
Felt alone with you, believing this was all about me
Year after year
Before the stories disappear
Took a while but now I realise I did it for you

I lost my light but found it there in the front row
Losin' sight but found I just had my eyes closed
Laughed with the devil, shook his hand with a smile
I said you just ain’t for me
You just ain’t for me

Woah, year after year
And I've seen every motel here
I felt alone with you, believing this was all about me
Year after year
Before the stories disappear
Took a while but now I realise I did it for you
I did for you
I did it for you
