The engine stops
The plane drops
The moment explodesA sudden rush
A brute hush
And the moment explodesThe moment explodesInto thoughts of all the things I've left undone
And flashes from a life I've just begunEvery friend I ever knew, or thought I did
The love that I could give, the love I hidEvery stupid, life-before-your-eyes cliche
Could I please go out some less expected way?But none alive or dying crack those codes
When the moment explodesThe staircase dips
The foot trips
The moment explodesThe dark road curves
The car swerves
And the moment explodesAnd the moment explodesAnd it reaches to the future and the past
To every moment ever, first to lastAnd every life I reached, but could not touchAnd every life I reached, but could not touchAnd everyone I loved, or loved too muchAnd every chance I took, or did not make
Connections that I made, or did not make
But I'll never take those turns to other roadsOnce the momentWhen the momentWhen the momentThe engine stops
The plane drops
The moment explodes
