about

a song I wrote inspired by me and andy's complicated relationship with life and death. I'm glad we're both still here and I hope that our music can make the world a better place.

lyrics

soulful

v1
you tell me that you want to die
i said not yet but you said
you need to try

i was there through the fight
crossing county lines in the
middle of the night

so why you gotta latch onto that one time?
he was gonna set you free but he didn’t have a knife
I thought you wanted this the whole time
but it ain’t so funny playing with a life

[chorus]

i don’t wanna die, but when i do i’ll go in peace
you say you wanna die, so why you gotta
get down on your knees and beg
to keep this life can’’t be that
bad if you wear it on your sleeve
look beyond yourself and you’ll
see just what I mean

V2

pluck me before i’m ripe
and you waste the precious speed
i didn’t put in all this work
to lay back and watch you feed

you know we’re all just
out here tryna eat
but quit droolin over me
and get up on your feet

you gotta put in the work
and get out of your head
embrace the feeling of being alive
before you’re dead
alive before you’re dead, you’re alive

[chorus 2]

i don’t wanna die, but when i do i’ll go in peace
you say you wanna die, but i don’t think
that’s what you really mean

i don’t wanna die, but when i do i’ll go in peace
you say you wanna die, but i don’t think
that’s what you really mean
