Long Year Lyrics

I’m not ready

Not ready to quit this fight

I’ll stay up with you all night if I have to

Is it too early

Too early to feel this pain

How did we let it get this way overnight

It’s been a long year

We don’t agree on much these days

It’s been hard to hear

Some of what you have to say

But no one said it’d be easy

Now did they

I used to think

That we’d agree on everything with time

But then time keeps passing by, and we’re still fightin’

I used to believe

We’d always come to the same conclusion

Somehow find a resolution at the end

What if we don’t even make it to the end

It’s been a long year

We don’t agree on much these days

It’s been hard to hear

Some of what you have to say

But no one said it’d be easy

Now did they

No one prepared you or tried to dissuade you from the road you started down

And no one can save you once you’re out there

And maybe it’d be better, just a little better if it was anybody but me

It’s forever, only me

I hope it’s forever only me

It’s been a long year

I wish we agreed on more these days

It’s been hard to learn how to change

But I want many more years

And I’ll do whatever it takes

‘Cause no one said it’d be easy, now did they

Oh, I’m here to stay

Oh, I’m here to stay
