Annabel - For Years and Years

Every year will seem more
Important than the one before
I understand your concern
But sometimes they are out of order

Now that we’re all that’s left
There’s only each other to impress
But most things are said
Better when in person

I know
What we ought to become
In the long run

It's not supposed to be
Simple, easy or straight-forward
But I know you'll figure out
Whatever I sing about

You are mainly concerned with
Years, decades, and centuries
I’m just trying to get through
Mornings and afternoons

I know
What we ought to become
In the long run
The same as what everyone else wants
We could live anywhere
As long as my name will still stay in the family
There’s still so much to prepare for
I'll start making progress
When I have a reason
And when I’m done being myself
I want to believe that I’ll still have a purpose
I want to believe it
I want to believe it
I want you to believe it
