lyrics

It’s been a really hard year,
But I ain’t complainin’.
Been standing round here
In wonder and amazement,
While your body changes
But you don’t really change at all.

It’s been a really hard year,
But I ain’t complainin’.
There been wars, there been tears
Whole seas can’t contain them.
And the world keeps on changing
While nothing really changes at all.

It’s been a really hard year
But I ain’t complainin’.
As long as you’re here
I’ll be staying, I’ll be staying
And we’ll die of old age
But we’ll die, oh we’ll die young.
I said we’ll die of old age honey,
But we’ll die, we’ll die young.
