25 seconds to live and I'm falling down
There the darling goes, magnetics that are pulling her down
25 seconds to live and I'm waving high
All this white's a thrill
Turning just to give us the sign
And what I never had were pictures passing by
(Forces that make your way down)
And what I had between the things I never tried
Was you reaching out in hopes that you could grab
(Forces that make your way down)
I say that's better 'cause at least I know you tried
At least I know you tried (3x)
25 seconds to live and I'm falling down
There the darling goes, whipping out her funeral song
25 seconds to live and I'm waving high
Now he cuts to go, deciding just to trade it all in
And what I never had were pictures flashing by
(Forces that make your way down)
And what I had between the things I never tried
Was you reaching out in hopes to hold your hand
(Forces that make your way down)
I say I'm better 'cause I lived before I died
At least I know you tried...
