I know it’s strange for me to say:

But I’ve been thinking about dying all day.

I hope I’m the first one to go,

Cuz being without you is being too alone.

The only way we can stop this train –

Is quit loving and walk away.

But I’m not leaving, and neither are you.

I’d love to live forever – we all do.

Until forever’s one day longer than you.

We both believe it’s better to be first.

Not being left behind to walk this earth.

To know what lonesome really means,

That’s the path we’re on, you and me.

The only way we can stop this train –

Is quit loving and walk away.

But I’m not leaving, and neither are you.

I’d love to live forever – we all do.

Until forever’s one day longer than you.

Now I’m not looking for time to stop,

‘Cause spending it with you is everything I’ve got.

The only way we can stop this train –

Is quit loving and walk away.

But I’m not leaving, and neither are you.

I’d love to live forever – we all do.

Until forever’s one day longer – until forever’s one minute longer - than you.
