[Verse 1]
Saw that squirrel in my garden
Watched my grandpa die this morning
He was 99 and counting
Had his family around him
Something profound hit me
I was ready to die at 15
Think my cat really would've missed me
Thought the guy of my dreams would fix me
[Chorus]
But some things just take time
Sometimes there's no sign
[Verse 2]
Swallowed a fly at the studio
That would've broke me a year ago
Think I'm starting to grow a back bone
Now I'm learning to let things let go
And I was thinking about Hiroshima
And my heart sank a little deeper
There's a darkness inside most people
We're the same but some are more equal
[Chorus]
And some things just take time
Sometimes there's no sign
Somehow I chose right
So much more to life
[Outro]
I don't cry on the floor of my shower anymore
I don't starve myself, don't slam the bedroom door
And I don't lie to my friend when I'm planning out the end
I won't type a goodbye note and I won't, and I won't hit send
'Til I'm 99 and, 'til I'm 99 and counting
