I had it all planned out before you met me

Was gonna leave early and so swiftly

Maybe in a fire or crash off a ravinePeople would weep, "How tragic, so early"

I was gonna die young

Now I gotta wait for you, honey

Now I gotta wait for you, honey

Now I gotta wait for you, honey

I was a firecracker, baby, with somethin′ to prove

Now I gotta contend with the living blues

I could've missed it, I never knew

Chain reaction, but you′re holdin' the fuse

I was gonna die young

Now I gotta wait for you, honey

Now I gotta wait for you, honey

Now I gotta wait for you, honey

Ooh, I don't mind

I got the fire, electric life, so high, so wild

It′s not like I chose, not like I tried

But now I gotta wait around and watch you burn so bright

I was gonna die

I had it all planned out before you met me

I had a plan, you ruined it completely

Had it all planned out before you met me

I had a plan, you ruined it completely

I was gonna die young

Now I gotta wait for you, honey

Now I gotta wait for you, honey

Now I gotta wait for you, honey

I was gonna die young

Now I gotta wait for you, honey

Now I gotta wait for you, honey

Now I gotta wait for you, honey

(Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Had it all planned out before you met me

I had a plan, you ruined it completely

Had it all planned out before you met me

I had a plan, you ruined it completely
