Die Young

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 ravine

People 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 something to prove

Now I gotta contend with the living blues

I could've missed it, I never knew

Chain reaction but you're holding the fuse

I was gonna die young

Now I gotta wait for you, honey

Now I gotta wait for you, honey (honey)

Now I gotta wait for you, honey

Oh, 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

I had it all planned out before you met me

I had a plan, you ruined it completely

I was gonna die young

(I had it all planned out before you met me)

Now I gotta wait for you, honey

(I had a plan, you ruined it completely)

Now I gotta wait for you, honey (honey)

(I had it all planned out before you met me)

Now I gotta wait for you, honey

(I had a plan, you ruined it completely)

I was gonna die young (yeah, yeah, yeah)

(I had it all planned out before you met me)

Now I gotta wait for you, honey (I was gonna, I was gonna)

(I had a plan, you ruined it completely)

Now I gotta wait for you, honey (oh, oh)

(I had it all planned out before you met me)

Now I gotta wait for you, honey (oh yeah, yeah, yeah)

(I had a plan, you ruined it completely)

I had it all planned out before you met me

I had a plan, you ruined it completely

I had it all planned out before you met me

I had a plan, you ruined it completely
