Let the day drop by
Let it bring me something new
Like uncomplicating, motivating ways
To help me stay
Ways to help me stay alive
But if I stay, I just might
Have to face unwanted truth
So maybe if it's practical
I'll just creep away
Too soft to say
Goodbye
Well I know a little 'bout heaven
But I've only got six seconds
To make up my mind
To make up my mind
All of my blessings come in sevens
Cuz I don't know much about heaven
So I only get six seconds
To make up my mind
Boys don't cry
It's a lie because I do
I've gotta truth that I don't show
I'm a whole lotta ego
And it makes it hard for me
To decide
Well I've heard a lot about heaven
But I've only got six seconds
To make up my mind
To make up my mind
All of my blessings come in sevens
Cuz I don't know much about heaven
So I only get six seconds
To make up my mind
I'm gonna make sure I'm three steps in front of it
When the beat that brought me here is over with
I'm gonna live it up and leave
Gonna make sure I'm the biggest part of it
Before the talk gets 'round that I'm outside of it
I'm gonna live it up and leave
