[Verse 1]
For every song that says what to do
When life leaves your body, there should be one too
To sing when someone leaves here for good
I'd try and write it if I thought I could
But sometimes words, even well-rehearsed
Just make things worse
[Chorus]
But I'll say that maybe it's true and there's something to
All the stories we tell ourselves to get through
Who would I be to say, when we live our last day
That there's nowhere to wait?
'Til everyone we ever loved are all in the same place
It's unlikely, but it's nice to entertain
[Verse 2]
How many times have you heard this one
"It's not where you're going, but the way that you've gone?"
Yeah, it's cliché, but what isn't these days?
Most things take reminding to stay
It'd be like if you spend your whole life
Just wasting time trying not to die
[Chorus]
But who knows maybe it's true, and there something to
All the stories we tell ourselves to get through
Who would I be to say, when we live our last day
That there's nowhere to wait?
'Til everyone we ever loved are all in the same place
It's unlikely, but it's nice to entertain
