Years

things you shoulda said
are runnin' through your head
what you could have shown
to the people you have known
they don't understand
why you're gettin' outta hand
you'd like to explain
but it would take years

things you shoulda said
are runnin' through your head
what you could have shown
to the people you have known
they don't understand
why you're gettin' outta hand
you'd like to explain
but it would take years

years...years...years...years...

Go walkin in the rain
to wash away the pain
wash away the dirt
and wash away the hurt
you're gettin' depressed
as you're gettin' undressed
it's nothing new
it's been going on for years

and you've been swallowed whole
by just what you do not know
and it's snapping at your heels
and you know how hard that feels


years...years...years...years...

Lyin on your bed
pretending that you're dead
feeling pretty bad
bout what you have and haven't had
too much been going wrong
for 20 years too long
it's only all your life
and only all your years

go swimming in the sea
to drown the misery
fill the emptiness
and kill the something less
swim back to the shore
with 40 problems more
it'd be almost funny
if it was someone else

years...years...years...years...

And you've been swallowed whole
by just what you do not know
and it's snapping at your heels
and you know how hard that feels

you just wanna scream
scream for years and years
you scream for years and years
but no one ever hears
no one ever hears
when you scream for years and years
you scream for years and years
but no one ever hears
