These Important Years Lyrics - Husker Du

Well, you get up every morning 

And you see it's still the same 

All the floors and all the walls 

And all the rest remains 

Nothing changes fast enough 

The hurry-worry days 

It makes you want to give it up 

And drift into a haze 

Revelations seem to be another way 

To make the days go fast anyways 

We're all exchanging pleasantries 

No matter how we feel 

And no one knows the difference 

'Cause it all seems so unreal 

You'd better grab a hold of something 

Simple but it's true 

If you don't stop to smell the roses now 

They might end up on you 

Expectations only mean you really think you know 

What's coming next, and you don't 

Yearbooks with their autographs 

From friends you might have had 

These are your important years 

You'd better make them last 

Falling in and out of love just like 

These are your important years, your life 

Once you've seen the light, you suddenly 

Realize it might end up all right 

It might end up all right now 

Yearbooks with their autographs 

From friends you might have had 

These are your important years 

You'd better make them last 

Falling in and out of love just like 

These are your important years, your life
