I'll wait for you thru hours
I'll love you on for years
I'll take all my power
To wash away your tears




Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Beach Bums' "Years" song talk about how the singer is willing to wait for someone through tough times. We're not sure if the person they are waiting for is not with them at the moment or if they're going through something difficult together. However, it is clear that their love for this person is strong enough to withstand hours of waiting.


The next line, "I'll love you on for years," seems to echo this sentiment. It suggests that the singer's feelings for this person won't fade away with time and that they're in this for the long haul. The use of the phrase "love you on" is an interesting one, perhaps signifying that their love will endure and continue to grow as the years go by.


The final line, "I'll take all my power to wash away your tears," denotes a sense of duty and responsibility the singer feels towards the person they love. They are determined to do everything within their power to bring comfort and solace to the one they care about, even if it means putting themselves second.
