...while you're alive

when you're a ghost

they'll sit around

and talk about how they liked you the most

when you're a dream

i'll wake up

to warm sun-rays that make me want to scream

i wanna let you know while you're alive

because everybody loves you when you die

but when it matters

they're not there

not there

when love is dead

we'll remember gentle nudges keeping us in bed

or laughing at funerals

queasy at carnivals

listening to heartbeats slowing down as we keep growing old

i wanna let you know while you're alive

because everybody loves you when you die

but when it matters

they're not there

not there

i gotta let you know while you're alive

cause i'll be a disaster when you die

chubby body

no hair

don't care

it's not like the love that they showed us on t.v

it's a home that can burn

it's a limb to freeze

it's worry

love is worry

yeah
