If you knew I would die tomorrow

With you be happy with all of the things you've done

Years they never seem to slow down

'Till they're gone

The air, it seems is getting cold now

And I can feel my mind

Room is spinning round-and-round

And fuck, please wake me up

Now I've got these memories in me 'till the day that I leave

'Till the day I believe in the stories I read when I'm alone

I've got my family in Ohio and my girl in L.A

My mom and dad in Texas but I can't seem to stay for too long

Too long

Now when I leave it's not just for me, it's not just for me

I promised to keep when I was crying and you held my hand

Tell my mother that I'm gone and my sister that I love her so

And oh my father he ought to know

I've been doing just fine on my own

On my own

Yeah I remember you laying down there

And you could hardly cry, saw it in your eye

Then you told us it'll be okay

But fuck, I'm still not okay, okay

Oh yeah, all of this hurt I sing about for the chimes, the chimes

Yeah, I know I should've shown you my face more

But it was easier for me to drink away my pain

Now I think about it every day

Okay, you said: Now Julia and I have an angel above

And now there'll never be a day when she's not by our side, our side

Yeah I've got my family in Ohio and my girl in L.A

My ma and dad in Texas but I can't seem to stay for too long

For too long

Now when I leave it's not just for me, it's not just for me

I promised to keep when I was crying and you held my hand

Tell my mother that I'm gone and my sister that I love her so

And oh my father he ought to know

I've been doing just fine on my own

On my own

If you knew I would die tomorrow

Would you be happy with all of the things you've done

Now and then, now and then, I just hold it in

But oh my god, I feel it burning in my chest again

An' outside as the snow stuck, to the pavement

My sister had tears rolling down her freezing skin

Time-to-time I wonder why it had to happen so soon

Why'd it have to happen so soon
