I Got to Live

What will I say if one day I wake All of a sudden, I'm there at that gate? The end of my life, no time for goodbyes And I didn't get to try everything twice I'd say, "Why'd it have to be me? Why'd I have to go like this? Know we hardly ever speak But you could've given me notice" So thank God it's all in my head 'Cause I ain't done breathing just yet I hope I don't go before it's my time Before I can show what I'll do with my life My wife would be sad and keep asking why My mom would be mad 'cause that's just what she's like But I hope that someone remembers me well That my messed up stories are good ones to tell Don't get to decide, but if I did I wouldn't die before I got to live I wanna know what it's like To see 91 candles alight Surrounded by the people who still love me Even though I've never looked so ugly It's the end of my life and that's fine At least I could say my goodbyes I hope I don't go before it's my time Before I can show what I'll do with my life My wife would be sad and keep asking why My mom would be mad 'cause that's just what she's like But I hope that someone remembers me well That my messed up stories are good ones to tell Don't get to decide, but if I did I wouldn't die before I got to live Before I got to live Why'd it have to be me? Why'd I have to go like this? Know we hardly ever speak But you could've given me a notice So thank God it's all in my head 'Cause I ain't done breathing just yet I hope I don't go before it's my time Before I can show what I'll do with my life My wife would be sad and keep asking why My mom would be mad 'cause that's just what she's like But I hope that someone remembers me well That my messed up stories are good ones to tell Don't get to decide, but if I did I wouldn't die before I got to live Before I got to live, yeah Before I got to live I wouldn't die before I got to live
