What would I say if one day I wake

All of a sudden, I'm there at that gate

The end of my life, no time for goodbyes

And I didn't get to try everything twice

I'd say, "Why'd it have to be me?

Why'd I have to go like this

Know we hardly ever speak

But you could've given me notice"

So thank God it's all in my head

'Cause I ain't done breathing just yet

I hope I don't go before it's my time

Before I can show what I'll do with my life

My wife would be sad and keep asking why

My mom would be mad 'cause that's just what she's like

But I hope that someone remembers me well

That my messed up stories are good ones to tell

Don't get to decide, but if I did

I wouldn't die before I got to live

Mm, mm, mm

I wanna know what it's like

To see 91 candles alight

Surrounded by the people who still love me

Even though I've never looked so ugly

It's the end of my life and that's fine

At least I could say my goodbyes

I hope I don't go before it's my time

Before I can show what I'll do with my life

My wife would be sad and keep asking why

My mom would be mad 'cause that's just what she's like

But I hope that someone remembers me well

That my messed up stories are good ones to tell

Don't get to decide, but if I did

I wouldn't die before I got to live

Mm, mm, mm, before I got to live

Mm, mm, mm

Why'd it have to be me?

Why'd I have to go like this?

Know we hardly ever speak

But you could've given me notice

So thank God it's all in my head

'Cause I ain't done breathing just yet

I hope I don't go before it's my time

Before I can show what I'll do with my life

My wife would be sad and keep asking why

My mom would be mad 'cause that's just what she's like

But I hope that someone remembers me well

That my messed up stories are good ones to tell

Don't get to decide, but if I did

I wouldn't die before I got to live

(Oh, oh, oh, oh) Oh, before I got to live

(Oh, oh, oh, oh) Yeah, oh, before I got to live

(Oh, oh, oh, oh) Mm

(Oh, oh) I wouldn't die before I got to live
