Everyone’s Gotta Die

I love you now, I hear your breath

Slow, gentle, calming.

I need you now, I like to care,

But I know someday you won’t be there.

 

Everyone’s gotta die,

That clock on the inside,

Keeps ticking away.

Everyone’s gotta die,

I’ll miss you the most,

Make your time with me last a little bit longer.

 

Now I love you still, more than ever,

My tears on my pillow make me remember,

How you used to feel,

How I need you near,

How I can call you anytime,

And you won’t pick up.

 

Everyone’s gotta die,

That clock on the inside,

Keeps ticking away.

Everyone’s gotta die,

I’ll miss you the most,

Make your time with me last a little bit longer.

 

When the angels call my name,

I won’t shy away.

When death makes me feel like I’ve got no control,

I’ll think of how I smiled, I’ll think how I loved,

My life is well worth living,

And I won’t die alone.

 

Everyone’s gotta die,

That clock on the inside,

Keeps ticking away.

Everyone’s gotta die,

I’ll miss you the most,

Make your time with me last a little bit longer.
