You know I told you I was gonna die before I was 25.
I was a kid back then, I didn't know,
that pain was gonna make me stronger than yesterday.

I used to think the dead sang to me
"Come along and jump, you ain't got nothing to lose"
It sounded so inviting back then
when not even the moon
wanted to come and play with me.

I'm 24 now.
I now know the end is not behind a broken heart.
I don't wanna hear doomsday songs anymore.

Tonight, the living are singing
"Go out boy, you'll be ok.
A few mistakes ain't gonna turn your light off!"

And I'm inclined to believe them,
if only for today.
