The Griswolds – Year After Year lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Went on a mission, I could never have trained for
But fell in love, and its worth going insane for
Fed on the praise and drank It up like a tall boy
But I'm just fakin'

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
Year after year and
'Ive 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
