John Brownell - Repeat and Fade Lyrics

It feels like years ago
Or does it feel like yesterday?
I'm not sure but I am sincere when
I say this whole damn year's been
Such a blurry mess that
I'm not sure if it was worth it or wasted

Okay I know it's not
And you know I know it's not
Still I go back and forth and back each day
Repeat and fade

I found excuses to build a cocoon
Start a new project that keeps me consumed
Hole up alone in a windowless room
Build a little factory for cranking out tunes
Avoid the truth and
Pretend what I do Is important to you

But I know it's not
And I know you know that it's not
Still I go back and forth and back each week
Fade out while I repeat

I imagine ten years from now
It will feel like the snap of a finger
Since I put down these rhymes
And I'll cringe as nostalgia lingers
I've said before and I'll say it some more
It happens every time!

And I know it's true
And I hope you know it too
So sit back and watch the decades
Repeat and fade
Repeat and fade
Repeat and fade
Repeat and fade
