My Last Day On Earth Lyrics
If this were my last day on earth
I wouldn't cry
If you tried to sell me another year or two
I wouldn't buyThere's something dark,
Ugly but beautiful,
Crawling underneath my skin
Not every black thread
Sew something suitable
So tell me how you know so much
About somewhere you've never beenPicture frame, picture perfect,
Picture all you've ever wanted
And since you refuse to picture both
Does that make you safer,
Or more likely to be haunted?I've come a long way, travelled so far
Searching out this meeting of the minds
But if eyes are the window to the soul
You've drawn the blinds,
Drawn the blinds,
Drawn the blindsIf this were my last day on earth
I wouldn't cry
Classic take on an old modern wake
To say goodbyeSimply charmed, a little dangerous
Never too alive in the morning
We came unarmed,
But there was change for us
So holding all this broken,
Not as sudden as you saySo wear, my sweater
And die by your own hand
You swore you could do so much better
So there, now's your chanceI thought I was contributing to some sort of dialogue
But now I can see, I'm just part of the noise and insanity
And I love the way this feels but get off me
The final play is just the last of the drops
Your hoodlum boys and you box of craft
The breakfast you made were the best of the best
Love cardiac snap crackle open my chestWatch me write, twist and shout
Duck as Pandora flies out
Duck as Pandora flies out out out
Duck as Pandora flies outIf this were my last day on earth
I wouldn't cry
If you tried to sell me another year or two
I wouldn't buy
