If you and I, we died tomorrow Would you be happy with all of the things you've done? Years, they never seem to slow down 'Til they're gone The air, it seems, is getting cool now And I can feel my mind Room is spinning 'round and 'round And fuck, please wake me up Now, I need these memories in me until the day that I leave 'Til the day I believe in the stories I read when I'm alone I got my family in Ohio and my girl in LA 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 promise 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'll be doing just fine on my own On my own Yeah, I remember you laying down there And you could hardly cry, but I saw 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 you 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 Now Katie, Sarah, Julia, and I have an angel above And there'll never be a day when she's not by our side, our side Yeah, I got my family in Ohio and my girl in LA 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 promise 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'll be doing just fine on my own On my own (If you and I, we died 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 And outside, as the snow stuck to the pavement My sister had tears rolling down her freezing skin From time to time I wonder why it had to happen so soon Why'd it have to happen so soon?
